Finally, after years of dying to visit this place I got a chance. I met up with a few of the folks from the camera club, some of whom knew this place very well. I opted not to take a guided or audio tour, rather just focus on exploration and taking my time photographing all I could. I live close enough to and frequent Philly enough that I will find some time to carve out to take one of the tours since I love learning history. Their Halloween events look pretty neat as well.
I did miss a few spots in the prison (aside from what was closed off) but overall was able to capture most of what I set out to get. I considered this trip a massive success and was happy with my results as well as everyone else’s from my club.
This prison is located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. For more information on this historic landmark, you can visit their website here.
