Philadelphia — Cradle of Liberty

istory is replete with what some call miracles but are actual providences of God to bring about His proposed purposes. Few events or locations can boast of so great a number of awe-inspiring wonders as that of the founding of our Constitutional Republic — and Philadelphia was at the epicenter! Come along with us this summer to the very locations where God’s mighty hand moved in the hearts of faithful, yet imperfect, men to establish a free nation through their sacrificial efforts!

First-Hand History — On Site!

We will start with a rousing reception featuring the colonial music of Charlie Zahm and Tad Marks as they help stir our patriotic passions for the history of this amazing era. We will conclude with a banquet in historic City Tavern — site of the first anniversary celebration of the delegates to the Continental Congress on July 4th, 1777! In between, we will travel to the seminal locations where our Founding Fathers forged the freedoms we now enjoy, including Independence Hall, Princeton, Valley Forge and many more. We will examine the influence of key figures including John Witherspoon, James Madison, George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, Patrick Henry, John Hancock and those two religiously unorthodox figures, Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin.

As we walk down these remarkable streets and see the well preserved landmarks of our young nation, we will hear Dan Ford reveal the minds of our Founders preserved in original documents written in their own hand. We will charge across Brandywine Battlefield as Bill Potter takes us back to the desperate defense of Philadelphia by George Washington against the onslaught of Sir William Howe, General Cornwallis and the British army.

Fellowship and Fun!

Something amazing happens when we learn and sharpen our minds with other brothers and sisters that value those Words of life that moved our Founders to act in such courageous ways. The sweet fellowship itself is an additional inspiration and encouragement — this we hear over and over again from tour attendees.

Free Book for the Family

As a special gift for each family that registers for this tour, we have a copy of Christianity and the Constitution. Using the writings of the Founders and the records of their conversations and activities, John Eidsmoe demonstrates the influence of Christianity on the political convictions of the Founding Fathers.
