Independence Hall, Philadelphia Photos |
Independence Hall was originally the statehouse of the colony of Pennsylvania & the site where the Continental Congress signed the Declaration of Indpendence on July 4, 1776. It is thus almost a shrine considered the first Capitol of the United States. Restored to the era with baize tables & quill pens, it is run by the National Park Service which maintains the Liberty Bell & nearby historic structures as part of an historic district. |
