Liberty Bell Center

The origin of the Liberty Bell dates back to 1751 when the Pennsylvania Assembly ordered the bell to commemorate the 50-year anniversary of William Penn's 1701 Charter of Privileges, Pennsylvania's original constitution. The Bell achieved its iconic status when abolitionists adopted the Bell as a symbol for the movement. It was, in fact, the abolitionists who gave it the name "Liberty Bell," in reference to its inscription.

Declaration House (Graff House)

Declaration House, also known as Graff House, was originally built in 1775 by Philadelphia bricklayer Jacob Graff, Jr.. It is famous as the location where Thomas Jefferson drafted the Declaration of Independence in 1776.

National Constitution Center

Betsy Ross House

Betsy Ross House is a historical landmark in Philadelphia alleged to be the site where the seamstress and flag-maker Betsy Ross purportedly lived when she sewed the first American Flag, although this story is generally held to be untrue by historians.
