Alexander Hamilton’s home

Occupied by the last mayor of the city under British rule, the Powel House now is one of the great remaining masterpieces of Georgian architecture.

The open-air museum is the only one dedicated to the state’s founder, William Penn, and is named for his ship, Welcome.

The museum explores the life of the influential founding father, from his politics and religious views, to his scientific discoveries and writings.

Though Founding Father Hamilton never physically visited the country’s first bank, it stands as a testament to his solution to the nation’s debt problem after the war.

The Second Bank of the United States was the second federally authorized Hamiltonian national bank in the United States.

This interactive museum is only a handful of years old and houses rare documents, while telling the American Revolutionary story in accessible detail.
