We are committed to building a society that values freedom of thought, civil discourse, respect for all people and the essential pursuit of liberty. From our home in Historic Philadelphia, the cradle of American democracy, the National Liberty Museum offers a contemporary perspective on the boldest, most innovative concept in America history: that liberty is - and must be - a shared pursuit if it is ever truly to be "for all."

Today we honor those who served our nation and defended our liberty.

At the National Liberty Museum โ€” the Home of Liberty in America โ€” we believe liberty is not just history. It is something that is tested, shaped, and lived every day.

Through stories that inspire courage, dialogue, and civic engagement, we invite visitors of all ages to explore the story of liberty in America and reflect on the role each of us plays in protecting it for future generations.

Visit us in Philadelphia and experience liberty in action.
