Independence Hall
Independence Hall is a red-brick building in Philadelphia where the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution were signed. It is now a national park site that visitors can tour with a ranger.
It is famous as the birthplace of the United States, where the founders met over 240 years ago. People love standing in the very room where a new country was born.
History
In this building leaders signed the papers that created the United States. You can see the Assembly Room set up just like it was in 1776.
Tours
Friendly park rangers lead free tours and tell fun stories about the founders. Free timed tickets help keep the lines short.
Architecture
The tall white clock tower and steeple make the building easy to spot. Its old brick walls and wooden doors look almost the same as they did long ago.
