Few places in the United States offer as much historical and cultural legacy as the Philadelphia Liberty Bell and Independence Hall. Located across the street from one another, the two landmarks serve as the most potent symbols of the American revolution and the birth of the young nation.
Independence Historical National Park is the home to both Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell. While the Bell was rung at several key moments of the American independence movement, today it is more famous for its symbolic message of universal liberty than its functional purpose. Few buildings in the world have seen more revolutionary history than Independence Hall. The site where both the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution was debated over and ultimately adopted, visiting the building fills one with a sense of great awe at its proud and revolutionary history.
In addition to the two main attractions,
Independence National Historical Park is also the home of several other
sites associated with the American Revolution. This 45-acre park
comprises much of the historic downtown area of Philadelphia. If not
just for the history, the Park is worth a visit for its serene beauty,
as you can take a stroll along brick cobbled stone paths and admire the
red brick buildings and pristinely manicured green lawns.
This was wonderful for a first time trip. the walking tour allowed me to go at my own pace and to see a litle more of the city. I also really liked the historical info given in the tours. Most importantly the directions on how to get to the next sight were very user friendly. I would definatley recommend this product and use it again. Thanks Walking Tour!
