A place worth knowing
Make room for Philadelphia.
Make a Philadelphia-area visit attentive to its different communities and hosts. Choose a local collection, an arranged cultural-center visit or a scheduled theater night. Choctaw is a separate destination, and living tribal culture should be encountered through the tribe’s own visitor guidance.
A few good ways to begin.
Choose a stop, then leave room for the unexpected.
