Independence Hall

I toured the Pennsylvania State House, later to be known as Independence Hall. This is the building where the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were voted on and signed.

This is the room in which both documents were signed. Ben Franklin, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson were here, in this place.

In adjacent buildings George Washington was sworn in as President for his 2nd Term here in this room.

And later John Adams was inaugurated in this room. The only two Presidents not sworn in at the White House.
