This is a video of the room where we declared our Independence from England and where our government was formed. The entire presentation was thirteen minutes long so unfortunately, I had to cut the first three minutes off. During that time, he talked about how the actual date was July 2, 1776 as that was the date the actual vote took place. The reason we celebrate it on the 4th of July is that's when the Declaration of Independence was finalized and released to the public. It should be noted that Independence Hall as well as the Liberty Bell Museum are free to the public thanks to the United States National Park Service. This site is on the National Register of Historic Places (obiously) and is a World Heratige Site as well.
This is what bonds ALL Philadelphians, and everyone from the area...... it all started here. We're very proud of that.
From Philly, with love.
