SANTA CLARA, CA, July 09, 2009
/24-7PressRelease/ -- Released in time for Independence Day, Geogad's latest tour covers the national park that is most on the minds of Americans on this day, Philadelphia's Independence National Historic Park, which is home to the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall and Franklin Court. Geogad's tour is your own personal mobile tour guide that can be uploaded onto any mobile media player or streamed to a phone. It is a great way for a busy traveler to quickly explore the area or to plan which exhibits they should focus on during their limited time in the park. Geogad's tour gives an overview of the top attractions in the park and explains how some of the major events in U.S. history began within this small area. As part of the tour, the traveler is introduced to the early historical people who risked everything for their vision of a new country.

Geogad's Mobile Tour of Philadelphia's Independence National Historic Park, the most historic square mile of the United States, begins at the Independence Park Visitor Center. After the traveler is armed with all of the travel advice that the visitor center volunteers can provide, Geogad's Mobile Tour guides the traveler through the heart of the park at the Liberty Bell Center and then to Independence Hall, perhaps the most important building in the colonial history of the United States. Geogad's tour discusses how the top politicians in the American colonies revolted against their king and how these idealistic, well-educated and, in many cases, wealthy men formed a government in which power was transfered from leader to leader based on the will of the people, a bizarre, radical form of government that had not been tried in over 2000 years. The traveler is then guided to Washington Square, which still holds memorials to remember the sacrifices of these young, idealist revolutionaries and the heavy price that some paid for the formation of the United States. The next few tour stops focus on one of the most prolific of these revolutionaries, Benjamin Franklin. The tour visits his home and work and includes his devotion to science and statecraft and to even his interest in the more mundane things in life like protecting the citizens of Philadelphia from fire. Other tour stops focus on how the people of the early US lived and work and how they eventually created the foundation of the modern day United States.
