  • Mikveh Israel Cemetery
    Begin at the Mikveh Israel Cemetery, a poignant site dating back to 1740.

Although entry is not included, your guide will share fascinating insights about the exhibits inside, from the arrival of early Jewish immigrants to their cultural impact on the American dream. Admire the striking architecture of Kahal Kadosh Mikveh Israel, often called the “Synagogue of the American Revolution,” and hear about its pivotal role in advocating for religious freedom.
  • Elfreth's Alley
    The tour concludes at Elfreth’s Alley, America’s oldest continuously inhabited residential street. Here, your guide will highlight the Jewish artisans and merchants who once lived and worked along this charming cobblestone lane.
