EXPLORE THE PARK

STRAINING AT THE HEART OF LIBERTY

This dramatic film tells the tragic and little-known story of Independence Hall's fugitive slave hearings with a large cast of local reenactors.

THEN & NOW

This film uses creative visual effects to show changes to Philadelphia's cityscape over time.

PEALE'S MUSEUM

The incredible story of Peale's Museum is told with a touch of whimsy; we used green-screen, animation, and other visual effects to bring it to life. Keep an eye out for the unique "Pedestrian's Hobby Horse" that we built from scratch!
