Independence Hall

Independence Hall is an important landmark and historical site in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The building was used as the meeting place of the Second Continental Congress during the American Revolution, and thus the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, and the United States Constitution, were all signed in the Hall.

The bell tower steeple of Indepenence Hall was the original home of the "Liberty Bell".

The original Libertyy Bell can be found across the street in the Liberty Bell Center.
