Experience Philadelphia's Most Immersive Museum

Welcome to the Faith and Liberty Discovery Center. No matter who you are, where you're from, or what you believe, we hope that you will come and visit. When you do, you will find a piece of yourself in the story of America. American values like faith, liberty, justice, hope, unity, and love have shaped our country, drawn new immigrants here, and formed us as a people. These same values have motivated some of our greatest cultural moments and political achievements—from independence, to emancipation, to women's suffrage, to civil rights. And these values have pulled us through the nation's darkest days of war, domestic strife, and terrorist attacks.

We invite you to explore these values, their source, and the incredible lives of people they have inspired from America’s founding through today. We hope that as you step into this journey of exploration, you will discover that these stories of great Americans illuminate the values that still unite us today. And we hope these values are an inseparable part of your story, too.

-The Faith and Liberty Discovery Center envisions the American people and visitors from around the world will be engaged with the Bible and inspired by its life-changing message. Rather than a divided and polarized America, we anticipate a transformed America that is united in the self-discovery of faith, hope, and love. We expect a renewal of public spiritedness affirming and embracing the ideals of civility, gratitude, kindness, generosity, and selfless service by a people who are motivated to heroic action in their local communities and for the common good.
