Did you know Philadelphia’s role in the American Revolution helped inspire revolutionary movements around the world?
Along the Benjamin Franklin Parkway stands a statue of Francisco de Miranda, a Venezuelan revolutionary who fought alongside American forces during the Revolutionary War. His experience in America would help shape his vision for independence and inspire his later involvement in revolutionary movements across the globe.
And that’s just one of the fascinating stories hiding in plain sight along the Parkway.
Want to discover the history behind Philadelphia’s statues, monuments, and the people they represent?
Book a Statue Tour with Founding Footsteps and see the Parkway from a whole new perspective.
