Founded in 1731, The Library Company of Philadelphia once served our founding fathers and now is an invaluable resource to our country as an internationally renowned research center.  Since the days of Benjamin Franklin, the collection has grown to more than a half a million rare books, manuscripts, pamphlets, broadsides, prints, and photographs, making it one of the largest collection of printed and graphic materials relating to early American history.

Join us for a private guided tour of the Library Company's latest exhibit -  Philadelphia's Radical Revolution:  From the Stamp Act to the Federal Constitution - focusing on what happened in Philadelphia throughout the American Revolution and beyond.  We will learn about the Library's history and collection, see the reading room, and view materials focusing on women's history and volumes from Franklin's original collection.

This tour is a repeat of the afternoon tour.
