Independence Hall.

The rooms on the second floor of this house is where Jefferson wrote his Declaration of Independence.

The Betsy Ross house.

Franklin's final resting place. He would not approve o this waste of pennies.

Christ's Church steeple. After the Declaration was read, the bells here were rung as were all the bells of philadelphia.

The City Tavern. This recreated site is wonderful for its attention to detail. You can imagine Adams, Jefferson, Franklin and the rest talking a little treason or liberty in these rooms.

The picture above shows Washington's statue standing by the eternal flame. The flame burns in remembrance for the Revolutionary soldiers who fell for our Liberty. The Monument is in Washington Square Park just south of Independence Hall.
