New Philadelphia National Historic Site

New Philadelphia National Historic Site preserves the first town planned and platted by a free African American before the Civil War. Founded in 1836 by Frank McWorter, this Illinois site tells an essential American story of freedom, self-determination, and community building that’s been buried for too long. It’s not a monument to what was given—it’s proof of what was built against all odds. Wear this site’s name and share a history that deserves to be known.
