North 3rd St, Northern Liberties

Chances are, this will be where you start looking around Philadelphia's historical district. The only distinguishing feature of the road itself is the Independence Living History Centre. The centre is ideal if you've got kids and you need to liven up a long day of historical sight seeing. Storytellers here will make local history come alive. You can also watch 1776: The Movie-Musical an interactive show and 'hysterically historical' treat for the entire family.
