Independence National Historical Park

In the heart of Center City Philadelphia is the heart of America’s freedom, Independence Hall. In the Assembly Room, where the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution were created, George Washington’s “rising sun” chair still dominates.

Across the street in the new Liberty Bell Center, interactive displays, films, exhibits and recorded presentations in a dozen languages explore the facts – and crack a few myths – surrounding the famous bell.

And, of course, there’s the National Constitution Center, the newest addition to Independence Mall. The 160,000-square-foot space explores and explains the U.S. Constitution through more than 100 high-tech exhibits, artifacts and interactive displays that are sure to move you.

But that's just the tip of the iceberg.
