We were passing by and had a wander around the outside but did not go in as it was closed at the time. The burial ground is where Benjamin Franklin is, along with four other signers of the Declaration of Independence. Pretty Church, worth a quick stop by.

We toured the Episcopal Christ Church in Philadelphia, where the delegates from the states worshipped when in Philadelphia in the colonial time before and during the start of the Revolutionary War. The steeple of the building provides a longstanding landmark in the city, having been founded in 1695. The architecture and décor are lovely—simple but elegant. It is a beautiful white with gold trim. Up in the loft, there is a very pretty organ, with pews along both sides of the building. One of the pews there was designated with a plaque as George Washington’s when in the city. Worship services are held weekly on Sunday mornings and Wednesdays at noon. If there was an admission fee, it was included in our US History Tour.

The church and grounds are beautiful! The fee to enter the church is $5, and there is also an option for a guided tour which I opted not to do. The church was built in the 18th century and has been preserved nicely. I took full advantage of the peace and quiet to admire the architecture and design. The small gift shop had nice trinkets and the garden is beautifully maintained with plenty of benches. I enjoyed my visit!

We stumbled upon this beautiful church while walking the area . There is a small fee to enter but everything could be seen through the windows and we were very time short . There is an information board outside but we googled too to fully appreciate the history
