What is the former Pennsylvania State House, where the Declaration was adopted, now called?

The former Pennsylvania State House, where the Declaration was adopted, is now called Independence Hall.

The building stands in Philadelphia and served as the meeting place of the Second Continental Congress when it approved the Declaration of Independence in 1776. It was then known as the Pennsylvania State House.

The same building is also closely associated with the United States Constitution. The Constitutional Convention met there in 1787, making Independence Hall a central site in both the independence movement and the creation of the federal government.

The name Independence Hall became established later because of the building’s connection with the Declaration. It is part of Independence National Historical Park and is recognized as a major United States historic landmark.
