Established in the early 1700s, Elfreth's Alley is the oldest active residential street in the United States. Today, the Alley is both a private neighborhood and a popular tourist attraction; visitors are allowed inside attractions such as the Chairmaker's House and the museum house. Each year in June, the private residences open their doors as well, to celebrate Fete Day, which also includes historical reenactments in the streets, and other festivities. Elfreth's Alley is located in Philadelphia's Old City neighborhood, a few blocks east of the National Constitution Center.
