Which building, now called Independence Hall, hosted the Congress that adopted the declaration marked by America250?

The Pennsylvania State House hosted the Congress that adopted the declaration marked by America250.

The building is now known as Independence Hall and stands in Philadelphia. The Second Continental Congress met there when it approved the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. The building was the seat of Pennsylvania's colonial government before becoming a central site of the revolutionary movement.

Independence Hall is associated with more than one founding milestone. The Constitutional Convention also met there in 1787 and produced the United States Constitution. The building therefore connects the declaration of independence with the later design of the federal government.

The name “Independence Hall” became common after the revolutionary period. During the events of 1776, participants generally referred to it as the Pennsylvania State House. This distinction explains why both names may appear in historical accounts of the America250 story.
