   Denzell and Rachel Hunter were Quakers and what better site to talk about the Religious Society of Friends than in the steps if the Arch Street Meeting House.

   This is the site of many events both pre-revolution and past, but none more memorable than the event described in Book 7, the celebration of the 1st anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

6. 6
   Powel House 20 minutes

   Lord John Grey's house on Chestnut St no longer exists, however, the Powel House, a few blocks away is surely a dead ringer for an affluent home in the style of Lord Grey. Option: The Powel House is open for tours a few days each week. If it's open, we can take their tour (a small donation is requested).

7. 7
   Franklin Court Printing Office 45 minutes

   This is a re-creation of a Philadelphia Print Shop as would have been owned by Jamie (in Scotland) and by Fergus in Philadelphia and elsewhere. The print shop is on the grounds of the "Ghost House", the steel outline of Ben Franklin's last home in Phila., both Independence National Park attractions.

8. 8
   Christ Church 20 minutes · Admission included

   This building was completed in 1759 and is known as the Founding Fathers church, although many visited other churches in the city. It stands at 2nd and Market Sts, where Claire traveled frequently to do her various shopping errands while in Phila.
