Twenty private homes on Elfreth's Alley, the nation's oldest residential street, will open their doors to visitors during Fete Day on Saturday, June 2.
It's an opportunity to see how the late 18th-century and early 19th-century houses have been preserved and changed.
For more than 75 years, Fete Day has been a June tradition.
