about Christ Church and Burial Ground:

Historic Christ Church, founded in 1695, is a wonderful place to explore Colonial and Revolution-era history. It was the first parish of the Church of England (Anglican) in Pennsylvania, and is also the birthplace of the American Episcopal Church.

Many revered and influential Americans are at rest in the Christ Church Burial Ground, including Benjamin Franklin, five signers of the Declaration of Independence, and several military notables. Talks on the church's rich history are given throughout the day.
