The 7 Best Things to do in Germantown, Pennsylvania (PA)
One of the most historic cities in America, Philadelphia is an ideal place to spend a weekend - preferably a long one. Be sure to see the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall, where the Constitution and Declaration of Independence were signed. Both are part of Independence National Historic Park. Philadelphia also boasts some outstanding art museums, including the Rodin Museum. The Franklin Institute Science Museum is one of many area attractions honoring the life and work of Benjamin Franklin, the city's most famous ambassador. After digesting all of that history, be sure you save room for a classic Philly cheese steak sandwich.

Once home to three generations of an abolitionist Quaker family, the Johnson House served as a stop on Harriet Tubmans Underground Railroad.
Reviewed By Locemup
I was turned off when I arrived and there was a note on the locked door stating the time of the next tour. Later I realized the docent was working alone: greeting visitors, leading the tours, collecting the admission fees. Her level of knowledge was amazing! It's a small house on the corner and doesn't look like much from outside but the house itself isn't the real draw. Go for the history lesson.
3. Wyck Historic House, Farm, and Garden
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 9 reviews
Wyck is a National Historic Landmark house, garden, and farm in the Germantown neighborhood of Philadelphia that served as the ancestral home to one Philadelphia family for nine generations (1690-1973). Here, traditional Quaker culture blended with a passion for innovation. The people who lived and worked at Wyck expressed these values through their commitment to education, horticulture, natural history, and preservation. Today, the Wyck Association connects this family and its rich history to our community through programs that focus on history, horticulture, and urban agriculture, using the past as inspiration for the present. Our 2.5-acre, centuries-old site plays an essential role in the life of our 21st-century urban neighborhood, using buildings, landscape, and collections to provide educational, cultural, and nutritional resources for our neighbors and visitors.
