A history of the Reading Terminal Market

Farmers Markets play a prominent role in Philadelphia's history. In fact, one of the first actions of the city's founder, William Penn, was to unit farmers, fishermen and huntsmen in a communal marketplace at the foot of what was then High Street. By the middle of the 19th century, Market Street, as it was fittingly called, featured a string of market sheds nearly six miles long. Today, budget New York car rental travelers will find more than 80 merchants at the market, two of whom are actually descendents from the original standholders a century before. Available goods include free range meats and poultry, freshly baked Amish goods and much much more. Nearly one hundred thousand Philadelphians and budget New York car rental travelers enjoy the sights and sounds of the market every week, so why aren't you? Be sure to experience Philadelphia's favourite marketplace during your upcoming road trip to the City of Brotherly Love.
