"For history loving visitors to Philadelphia, there’s a lot to choose from—the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, and the Museum of the American Revolution, to name a few spots. But those interested in democracy shouldn’t miss the National Constitution Center. Located near the Liberty Bell, the center was created as a bipartisan institution by Congress and opened in 2003. Nearly 20 years in, the building still feels fresh and modern, and so does the programming. The center regularly hosts events about American democracy; including, for instance, a Democratic primary debate between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton in 2008." - Regan Stephens, Devra Ferst
