If you are looking for something historically fascinating, but a little more intimate, then head over to Elfreth's Alley with your special someone and that secret piece of diamond jewelry stashed in your pocket! Elfreth's Alley is the oldest residential street in America, this small Old City street offers a museum and several historic houses, many of which still serve as private residences. The thirty-two buildings along Elfreth's Alley were built between the 1720s and 1830s, and today they reveal the fascinating stories of everyday life, the spaces that America's founders knew. Only houses 124 and 126 are open to the public currently, however Elfreth's Alley hopes to add House 128 to the museum complex someday. The other houses remain private homes where Philadelphia families have lived in the same spaces for 300 years. Alley residents open some of these homes every year, as part of the Fete Day and Deck the Alley celebrations. Why not choose one of these celebrations for a special chance to step into an heirloom house and surprise your true love with an heirloom engagement ring from Knox Jewelers.

If the history isn't quite to your taste then perhaps something more artistic will fit your flare. The city contains many art museums, though one of the most unique is The Rodin Museum which is a museum containing the largest collection of sculptor Auguste Rodin's works outside Paris. In 2009, for the first time since the museum opened in 1929, it underwent a renovation which brought this museum back to its original splendor. Doors were reopened to the public on July 12, 2012. Wedding rings and custom engagement rings from Knox Jewelers are works of art that you can wear of your hands and are created by our master jewelers. When popping the question to your beloved why not do so here? When anyone asks what their favorite piece of art in the museum is they are sure to declare the ring you lovingly chose for them.

Another museum to consider is the city's major art museum, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, which is one of the largest art museums in the United States. Its long flight of steps to the main entrance became famous after the film Rocky (1976). Proposing to your loved one at the top of these steps will make you both feel like winners as you slip that beautiful engagement ring onto their finger and they pledge to spend the rest of your lives together.

Another option is to take in a mix of the art and the outdoors. This is possible because the city has more outdoor sculptures and murals, and in general more public art than any other American city. In 1872, the Association for Public Art was created, the first private association in the United States dedicated to integrating public art and urban planning. All you need to do is head out for a walk and when the mood is right get down on one knee and let your sweetheart know how you feel. You'll be exchanging unique wedding rings from Knox jewelers in no time!
