Independence Hall

Independence Hall, located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, is a historic landmark of immense significance in the founding of the United States. Constructed between 1732 and 1753, it served as the meeting place for both the Continental Congress, where the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776, and the Constitutional Convention in 1787, resulting in the drafting of the U.S. Constitution. The Georgian-style architecture of Independence Hall, notably the Assembly Room where these pivotal documents were debated and adopted, reflects the era's elegance. Part of the Independence National Historical Park, the site attracts millions of visitors yearly, symbolizing the birthplace of American democracy. (Submitted by Jimmy Olsen)
