Elfreth's Alley residents open their private homes as part of this annual winter event, which raises funds for the Elfreth's Alley Museum's preservation and education programs.  Historic house tours, holiday treats, and caroling in the street all draw hundreds of visitors to the annual Deck the Alley celebration.  The Museum gift shop will be stocked with outstanding holiday gifts for your shopping pleasure!

Join us for this unique opportunity to get into the spirit of the Holiday Season. Stroll down Elfreth's Alley's historic cobblestones, and step back into America's past. Located in the heart of Old City Philadelphia, Elfreth's Alley is a block-long street that opened in 1702 connecting two blacksmiths' shops near Philadelphia's busy waterfront with Second Street, one of the growing colony's busiest thoroughfares.  The thirty-two buildings along Elfreth's Alley were built between the 1720s and 1830s, and today they reveal the fascinating stories of everyday life, the spaces that America's founders knew.
