WILLIAM PENN

A TRULY GIFTED MAN

"Hey Bill, is that a 6-foot cheesesteak, or are you just glad to see me?"

​

Viewing the iconic City Hall statue of William Penn from the Parkway, we gain an appreciation for what a gifted man he truly was, and why he is Philadelphia's founding father.

​

As many people know, "Pennsylvania" means "Penn's Wood." And it was named after William Penn's father. (Evidently, the acorn didn't fall far from the tree.)
