What is the name of the building where the Declaration celebrated by America250 was adopted?

Independence Hall is the building where the Declaration celebrated by America250 was adopted. It stands in Philadelphia’s Independence National Historical Park and was originally known as the Pennsylvania State House.

The Second Continental Congress met in the building when it approved the Declaration of Independence in 1776. In 1787, delegates also met there during the Constitutional Convention and signed the U.S. Constitution.

The building’s name changed over time as its historical meaning developed. “Pennsylvania State House” is the colonial-era name, while “Independence Hall” became the familiar modern name. Federal Hall in New York hosted the first U.S. Congress under the Constitution, and Carpenters’ Hall hosted the First Continental Congress, so those buildings are related to the founding era but are not the correct answer.
