Reviews
"Tucked away little piece of history. People still reside here and cars can drive down the street so be respectful and courteous."
"Amazing place to visit seeing homes built in 1720s would recommend."
"Cute alley with nice hidden small garden. The museum is small and interesting, however the clothing on display isn’t super authentic historically speaking. But it’s quaint and a nice stop in the historic area."
"Whenever I walk down Elfreth’s Alley I feel like I’ve been transported back to the 1700s. Every time I visit I walk through this short street with so much history. All of the houses feel and look historic. Literally making you feel you’ve been transported back in time. I just love Old City Philadelphia. Best place to visit!"
"You can feel old charms by walking around the alley. Just by entering the alley, you will say 'wow' how beautifully all the old houses are maintained. It is a great place to walk around and feel the history."
