The Schuylkill River and Delaware River define the urban landscape of Philadelphia, a city where centuries of history remain visible in its modern grid. This survey highlights the dense concentration of early American heritage, from the Edgar Allan Poe National Historic Site to the sacred grounds of Christ Church Burial Ground and the Independence National Historical Park. Along the western banks, the Woodlands Cem and Saint James of Kingsessing Churchyard Cem preserve the names of early residents in what were once suburban retreats.
