Located on chestnut street between Fifth & Sixth streets, Independence Hall
is situated in a part of the city where history is palpable thanks to the
plethora of historic buildings, the endless stream of tourists oohh - ing
and ahh - ing and Snapping pictures and the costumed characters cajoling
school children to succumb to the lure of history. Built between 1732 and
1753, Independence Hall is the building where the Declaration of
Independence was signed and the constitution was born. It's open daily
between 9am to 5pm, and there are informative tours every 15 minutes. Awash
in colonial charm, the building retains its dignity despite the through of
visitors that coverage on it and despite the simplicity of its design, can
be as awesome as the world' s most ornate sights. There's nodenying the
eerie, invigorating sense of single mindedness and forward thinking that
still pulses through the place.
