Elfreth's Alley welcomes you to stroll the street and experience the 18th century homes and the funky atmosphere it offers.
Located in the heart of Philadelphia's history-rich Old City neighborhood, Elfreth's Alley welcomes thousands of visitors each year to stroll the cobblestone streets and soak in the history of the oldest street in the nation. Surrounded by art galleries, funky coffeehouses, and fashionable restaurants, many of the 18th century houses were built before America even came about. The street features 33 historic houses, two of which are museums, for you to enjoy during a relaxing day in the oldest part of the city, or the nation, even.
