The Path of Patriots is a self-guided walking tour and podcast created for the 250th anniversary of American independence. Produced by the Union League of Philadelphia’s America250 Committee, it invites members, guests, Philadelphians, visitors, students, families, and even the occasional four-legged friend to walk the streets of a divided Civil War–era city and follow in the footsteps of the Union League’s founders, who supported Abraham Lincoln, the Union, and the abolition of slavery. The tour looks forward through Founding Forward’s mission to strengthen an informed, engaged citizenship.
