Independence National Historical Park
No. 3 of Best Things to Do in Pennsylvania

Independence National Historical Park

6.3
4.1/5

Independence National Historical Park is an open-air historic site consisting of red-brick Georgian buildings, green spaces, and plazas, where the United States Declaration of Independence was born. The park is surrounded by trees, and bronze statues stand among the plazas and gardens. Among them, the "Signers" statue pays tribute to the founding fathers who signed the Declaration of Independence. Independence Hall, with its red bricks and white windows, features a towering white bell tower that serves as the park's landmark and is a popular subject for visitors' photos. The highlight of the park is Independence Hall: on the first floor, there are two main halls. One was the courtroom of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, and the other, the Assembly Room, was the venue for the Continental Congress and the Constitutional Convention, where the Declaration of Independence was debated and passed. The interior is furnished according to the layout of the 18th-century meetings. The "Rising Sun Chair," used by George Washington while presiding over the Constitutional Convention, is an original piece that has survived to this day. It was while looking at the sun carved on the back of the chair—unsure whether it was rising or setting—that Benjamin Franklin became convinced at the signing of the Constitution that it was a "rising sun." North of Independence Hall, in the Liberty Bell Center, the famous cracked Liberty Bell is displayed in a glass pavilion. The early repairs on the bell and the crack that silenced it forever are clearly visible. Adjacent to its west side is Congress Hall, which served as the meeting place of the U.S. Congress during the ten years Philadelphia was the capital; both Washington's second inauguration and Adams's inauguration took place here. Not far to the east is the Fragments of Franklin Court, the site of Benjamin Franklin's former residence, and the Old Second Bank of the United States building, which houses rows of portraits of the founding figures. The historic sites throughout the park are basically within walking distance.

Independence Hallwas originally the Pennsylvania State House during the colonial period, built in the 18th century. The main building is a two-story, Georgian-style red-brick structure with white door and window trim outlining its symmetrical facade. A tall white steeple rises from the center, with a large clock face embedded in its lower level. The red bricks and white tower complement each other, creating a highly recognizable streetscape in the old city. The building is particularly notable for the Assembly Room on the first floor, where delegates to the Second Continental Congress passed the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. The Assembly Room has been restored to its original appearance, with long, green-felt-covered tables and high-backed chairs arranged in rows. In the center of the room sits the "Rising Sun Chair," used by George Washington while presiding over the Constitutional Convention. It is one of the few original items in the hall and can be clearly seen from behind the railing. The bell originally hung in the tower is said to have been rung when the Declaration of Independence was first publicly read; it was later moved to the pavilion across the street for separate display after it cracked. The bell currently hanging in the tower is the "Centennial Bell," cast in 1876 to commemorate the nation's centennial. The back of the US$100 bill features an image of the building's tower; seeing the real thing and then comparing it with the banknote makes for a more tangible experience.

The Penn Museum is a fascinating place to explore, with an impressive collection of artifacts from ancient cultures around the world. I especially enjoyed seeing the Egyptian exhibits and learning about the history behind the objects on display. There’s so much detail that you can easily spend a few hours here. A great stop in Philadelphia for anyone interested in archaeology, history, and ancient civilizations. 🏺✨

One of the most important places in the United States to commemorate the independence movement, this huge metal bell is quite impressive, with some clearly visible signs of wear. There are also several nearby memorials that are worth visiting.
