Though what you'll see today is only the foundation of the original, this location was still important in early American history. This home played host to the first two presidents of the newly formed United States, before the White House was constructed.

This famous bell was cast in London in 1752, and was originally known as the Pennsylvania State House Bell. In the 1830s, abolitionists, who adopted it as an icon, gave it the name of the Liberty Bell. That has a much better "ring" to it, don't you agree?

Independence Hall was 21 years in the building, and was finished in 1753. It's perhaps most famous for hosting the Second Continental Congress, the Constitutional Convention of 1787, and also, Nicolas Cage in the film "National Treasure".

First Bank of the United States
Trecere fără oprire
Chartered by Alexander Hamilton, the establishment of this bank can be definitively tied to the emergence of the two-party system in America. This was mostly caused by the rift between Alexander Hamilton, who was in favor of the bank, and Thomas Jefferson, who was vehemently opposed to the creation of a central bank.

One of the principles William Penn held dear was freedom of religion, and he founded the colony bearing his name, Pennsylvania, upon this ideal. After fleeing persecution in England due to his Quaker beliefs, Penn offered no resistance when the Church of England wanted to establish a church in Philadelphia. This historic church counted at least 15 signers of the Declaration of Independence among its parishioners.
