A Peep At The Past

There is a lot of history in the Independence Mall region. It is a center for learning about the early history of the country because it is home to several important landmarks. Here are highlights for the in person and virtual Philadelphia Independence Mall walking tour.

• Independence Hall is a historical time capsule of the United States. America’s founding fathers met at Independence Hall to craft and write the US Constitution and Declaration of Independence.  Designed by Andrew Hamilton and Edmund Woolley, Independence Hall's Georgian architecture is a magnificent illustration of 18th-century building design.
• The Liberty Bell Center, known around the world for its crack, is located in the Liberty Bell Center. Built in 1752 at the Whitechapel Bell Foundry in London, the Liberty Bell is a symbol of freedom in America. “It was ordered by the Pennsylvania Assembly in 1751 to commemorate the 50-year anniversary of William Penn’s 1701 Charter of Privileges.” (Source: Ben’s Guide To Gov) The Liberty Bell display pays tribute to the bell's historical development and cultural significance in America.
• Designed by well-known architect I.M. Pei, the National Constitution Center is an interactive museum devoted to the United States Constitution. The Signers' Hall has life-size bronze statues of the founding fathers signing the U.S. Constitution.
• Congress Hall has important historical significance in founding America.  It is the location for the establishment of the “First Bank of the United States, the Federal Mint, the Department of the Navy, as well as the ratification of the Jay’s Treaty with England.” (Source: Visit Philadelphia)
• The Betsy Ross House is the location for stitching the first American flag.
• Museum Of The American Revolution offers an extensive examination of the Revolutionary War and its ramifications for American history. The collection of the museum consists of a wide range of items and interactive displays.
• Carpenter's Hall is an important site in the founding of the US. In the early 19th century, the First and Second Banks of the United States were located in this building. This location was also the setting for the First Continental Congress in 1774.
