Celebrating America at the National Constitution Center

CENTER CITY - July 3, 2012

Now through Thursday, there are special activities tying into America's birthday. Most are free with your regular admission.

The center is having Revolutionary War re-enactors on the front lawn Tuesday and Wednesday,, July 3 and 4.

Students from Philadelphia's School of Rock will be performing throughout the day on the 4th of July. There are red, white and blue arts and crafts kids will enjoy, and periodic demonstrations of colonial tasks, like butter-churning, candle-making, and paper-making.

The center's exhibit on the life and work of Bruce Springsteen continues through summer's end, a fun way to connect with his music and also a reminder of how free speech plays out in our every-day lives.
