National Constitution Center
Museums / Galleries, Historic District
Fodor's Review:
This 160,000-square-foot museum brings the U.S. Constitution alive through a series of highly interactive exhibits tracing the development and adoption of the nation's landmark guiding document. The heart of the sprawling museum, "The Story of We the People," takes you from the American Revolution through the Constitution's ratification to major events in the nation's constitutional history. Later, you can play the role of a Supreme Court justice deciding an important case, and walk among the framers in Signers Hall, where you can decide whether to add your signature to the list of founding fathers. The facility has 100-plus exhibits and plays host to many events -- from tapings of National Public Radio's "Justice Talking" program to lectures by major historians and political figures.
