The Independence Hall, where the United States Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution were established and adopted., is now the centerpiece of the Independence National Historic Park. Petitioned in 1729, and built by 1753, it became a colonial legislature and a principal meeting place for the Second Continental Congress. With much history, the shell of the structure still remains original. The inner workings, with some reconstructions, replicate that of the original design.
