In a time when flashy headlines and false information often take the spotlight, millions of people rely on McMahon for nonpartisan, fact-based information.
McMahon is the host of the award-winning podcast Here’s Where It Gets Interesting, where each week, she provides entertaining yet factual accounts of America’s most fascinating moments and people. She is also the founder of The Preamble, a newsletter that gives you the history of and context about stories that matter. In all that she does, McMahon encourages others to be world-changing humans. She has led her community in various philanthropic initiatives that have raised more than $9 million for teachers, domestic violence survivors, terminally ill children, medical debt forgiveness programs, refugees, and more. About The Small and the Mighty: Twelve Unsung Americans Who Changed the Course of History, from the Founding to the Civil Rights MovementIn The Small and the Mighty, Sharon McMahon proves that the most remarkable Americans are often ordinary people who didn’t make it into the textbooks. Not the presidents, but the telephone operators. Not the aristocrats, but the schoolteachers. Through meticulous research, she discovers history’s unsung characters and brings their rich, riveting stories to light for the first time.
You’ll meet a woman astride a white horse riding down Pennsylvania Ave, a young boy detained at a Japanese incarceration camp, a formerly enslaved woman on a mission to reunite with her daughter, a poet on a train, and a teacher who learns to work with her enemies. More than one thing is bombed, and multiple people surprisingly become rich. Some rich with money, and some wealthy with things that matter more.
This is a book about what really made America – and Americans – great. McMahon’s cast of improbable champions will become familiar friends, lighting the path we journey in our quest to make the world more just, peaceful, good, and free.

費城曾經是美國的首都，因此城市周圍有大量的歷史、博物館、紀念碑和遺址。費城藝術博物館擁有一系列精美的展品。我是在周五晚上下班後參觀的，因為週五晚上博物館免費入場（隨意付費）。我在他們的車庫付了停車費，只要 5 美元。

感覺費城的市中心的景點真的很優秀，自由鍾附近這一片古迹統一歸National Park負責管理，在自由鐘的對面便是一個大型的遊客中心，在這裏可以諮詢到費城的旅遊攻略，這邊的工作人員和志願者也都非常熱情的幫忙給旅遊建議和回答諮詢問題。在這邊也有個小型的紀念品商店，可以買到冰箱貼、本子、明信片等相關的費城紀念品。遊客中心中還設有展覽講解，雖然相比博物館會比較迷你袖珍，但是依舊不影響這邊的遊客數量，如果是自駕前來，獨立宮遊客中心的地下還設有停車場可以供大家停車。費城的市中心雖然停車不太方便，停車位也不是很好找，推薦大家來遊客中心的地下停車場來停車。如果是旺季前來，獨立宮的参觀門票是需要先來遊客中心申請領取的，不過不知道是不是疫情的緣故，前來的時候並不需要拿票，直接進入参觀就可

美國歷史上的偉大篇章。您可以輕鬆地在大廳裡漫步並了解有關獨立宣言的更多信息，度過一個信息豐富的下午。

自由鍾

自由鐘的名氣自然不用多說，感覺跟獨立宮一樣可以成為費城景點的必打卡之處，好像每一次來費城，也會儀式性的重複進行打卡。兩者距離也很近，步行過馬路就是，展廳免費開放給公眾参觀，不需要購買門票，獨立宮需要提前在官網進行預訂，1元的門票預訂費。自由鍾是有獨立的一個参觀展廳，入口需要過安檢。可以近距離遊覽，可走到自由鐘面前，之前是可以環繞360度，但這次前來只開放了180度，另外一半攔住了，不過這樣的好處便是可以解鎖一個背景無人的自由鍾。自由鍾原本是獨立宮的宮殿中，而後由於鐘體開裂，才被陳列於草坪上的紀念館中。這次在遊客中心的展示台還虛席到了另一知識點，1752年運到費城時便初現了裂縫，而後經過幾次修補還是有裂縫，於是便放棄了對其的修整。而1776年7月4日敲響的也正是這個鐘。自由鍾也經歷了幾次遷移，雖然每次搬遷的位置都不遠，但人們還是擔心會有更嚴重的裂縫，還給鍾裝上了可以測試百萬分之一米移動的微變量位移傳感器，測試其是否適合搬遷，每一次遊覽好像都會解鎖不一樣的小知識點，這大概也是旅遊的一大樂趣吧。
