Indepdence Hall (Formerly State House)


Yes, there it is. I can't wait to watch National Treasure again! The liberty bell is in a separate visitor's center now.










This is looking out the second floor window, on to what used to be George Washington's house.


This is the room where it all happened, and that is George Washington's chair at the front of the room. There is a golden sun carved on the back of it. Franklin wrote that at times during the constitutional convention, he sometimes couldn't tell whether the sun was rising or setting. At the end, he could tell that it was indeed on the rise. I think this sentiment applies well to the U.S. Public Service Academy.
