April 19, 1775 the American Revolution began when "the shot heard 'round the world" was fired.
July 4, 1776 is our birth date, the date the Declaration of Independence was announced to the colonies.
October 19, 1781 British Commander Lord Cornwallis surrendered to American General George Washington, ending the fighting in the colonies.
September 3, 1783 The Treaty of Paris was signed, officially ending the American Revolution and establishing the United States of America.

This plaque is located in Paris, France. It was mounted in the same block as our hotel. Proud to see it in person, June 2026, just before our celebration of America 250.

Most people don’t realize Mother’s Day has deep roots in Philadelphia. Anna Jarvis, who lived in Philadelphia, helped create the holiday in honor of her mother after her death. The first official Mother’s Day celebration was held in 1908, and the movement quickly spread across the country. Philadelphia businessman John Wanamaker became one of the holiday’s early supporters, helping bring national attention to it from right here in the city.

By 1914, Mother’s Day was officially recognized across the United States. So every time Philly fills with flowers, packed brunch spots, and last minute card runs in May, you’re looking at a tradition that started right here in Philadelphia over a century ago.
