The Life of William Penn
By Linda Tancs
Philadelphia’s Welcome Park is the only site in the city dedicated to celebrating the life and contributions of William Penn, who founded the Commonwealth in 1682. Named for Penn’s ship, Welcome, the park features a marble layout of Penn’s city plan for Philadelphia and boasts a statue of him that is a miniature of the one atop City Hall. The site once hosted the Slate Roof House, where Penn resided from 1699 to 1701. The park is located at Second Street and Samson Street Alley.
