☼HISTORY:  The real Independence Hall is in the National Historical Park, PA. Independence Hall, an iconic symbol of freedom, has a significant history, known for being where the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution were signed, and it is recognized as a World Heritage Site. The building was built in 1732 as the Pennsylvania State House for the colonial government. Edmund Woolley oversaw its construction, which finished in 1748. In 1776, the Second Continental Congress signed the Declaration of Independence in the Assembly Room of the Pennsylvania State House. Eleven years later, the same room hosted the signing of the United States Constitution by delegates at the Constitutional Convention. In 1979, the United Nations included Independence Hall on the World Heritage List due to its global significance. The interior today is a reconstruction from the mid-20th century, but the public areas have been restored to look like they did in the 18th century. A large National Historical Park surrounds the site, preserving buildings from the 18th and 19th centuries. Independence Hall appears on the back of the $100 bill and the Kennedy bicentennial half-dollar.
