Independence Hall is the present-day name of the building where Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence for America250.
The building stood in Philadelphia as the Pennsylvania State House when the Second Continental Congress met there. Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, making the structure one of the central places associated with the founding of the United States.
The Pennsylvania State House was later renamed Independence Hall because of its connection with independence. The building also hosted the Constitutional Convention in 1787, where delegates drafted the United States Constitution.
Independence Hall is part of Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia. The Liberty Bell, another famous symbol of the American Revolution, is displayed nearby in the Liberty Bell Center rather than inside the historic assembly room. That distinction helps separate the building from the bell often associated with it.
