Independence Hall

Independence Hall
Independence Hall was built during the early 18th century as the Pennsylvania State House. The birthplace of the United States, Independence Hall, served as the meeting placed for the Second Continental Congress. The Declaration of Independence was signed here on July 4th, 1776 and a nation was born. George Washington, who presided over the "Constitution debate," later became the first President of the United States. Immortalized in bronze, he now boldly welcomes visitors to Independence Hall.
