The house where the Declaration of Independence was drafted. Called the "Declaration House," it is a little off the beaten path (at Seventh and Market Streets) and many tourists miss it. The home's offical name is the Graff House, as it was built by Jacob Graff, Jr. in 1775. Thomas Jefferson rented rooms on the second floor in 1776 and drafted the Declaration there.
