Independence National Historical Park

Independence National Historical Park, in Philadelphia, preserves several sites associated with the American Revolution and the nation's founding history. The park has been nicknamed "America's most historic square mile" because of its abundance of historic landmarks.

 

The centerpiece of the park is Independence Hall, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The building was completed in 1753 as the colonial legislature for the Province of Pennsylvania.

 

Independence Hall is where the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were debated and adopted.

 

The Assembly Room where both the Declaration of Independence and U.S. Constitution were signed.

 

We visited the park in July 1984.
