DID YOU KNOW?
Elfreth's Alley is only 16 feet wide, and is typical of the side streets and alleyways developed throughout Philadelphia in the 18th and 19th centuries. The Alley is still an active street and cars can and do drive down the street on a regular basis.

 
 

 


The Elfreth's Alley Association is a nonprofit educational and preservation organization and relies on donations, grants, and earned revenue to provide programs about the history of Philadelphia's ordinary people and places. The following individuals, businesses, foundations, and government agencies supported our work in 2007.  

THANK YOU for your generosity and support of our Annual Campaign and specific projects.

The Elfreth's Alley is a 501(c)3 nonprofit educational organization that uses the Alley as a lens to interpret the lives, lifestyles, and livelihoods of ordinary Philadelphians from the time of the City's founding through to the present day.  The Association preserves the Elfreth's Alley National Historic Landmark District as a rare example of a once commonplace working class community from the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
