The Dialogue Institute at Temple University presents: A new way to experience Philadelphia’s diverse history.

The Religious Freedom Trails App

Philadelphia is filled with hidden histories waiting to be discovered.

Our free app brings history to life with GPS-guided tours and rich historical insights you can access anytime. From the experiment of religious freedom to the foundations of American democracy, use the app as your walking companion to uncover key moments, people, and places that shaped the nation.

Whether you're a curious visitor or a lifelong Philadelphian, explore the city’s history at your own pace—and see familiar places in a whole new way.

Now available for download on Google Play and Apple. Access on the web here.

Our featured self-guided tour is the Religious Freedom Walk, which is also promoted by our partner organization, Interfaith Philadelphia. This tour focuses on early Philadelphia religious communities and cultures.

Other Dialogue Institute digital tours include: World Religions of Greater Philadelphia and Women and Religion in Philadelphia, with more to come!
