On these dates, the Guide-Led Tour & Discussion (12:00 pm on weekdays, 11:00 am on weekends) will feature additional content exploring how Eastern State Penitentiary’s history connects to the Civil Rights Movement and the nation’s unfulfilled promises of freedom and equality. This guided tour highlights powerful stories of resilience and invites reflection on the ongoing struggle for justice today. 

The Guide-Led Tour & Discussion is included with admission; however, capacity is limited. You can secure a spot on our Guide-Led Tour by purchasing timed Guide-Led Tour tickets for the day you plan to visit.
