The Independence National Historical Park (NHP) is a significant historical site located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is recognized as the most visited historical district in the United States, attracting a large number of tourists each year. The park preserves and showcases the rich history of the American Revolution and the founding of the nation.
Visitor Center and the Film 'Independence'
The Visitor Center at the Independence NHP offers an enriching experience for tourists with its award-winning film “Independence”. This 30-minute film, shown several times a day since 1976, provides a concise history of the USA, introducing viewers to key figures associated with the American Independence movement such as Thomas Jefferson, the author of the Declaration of Independence and the third President of the USA.
The Historical Significance of Independence Hall
The Independence Hall, the centerpiece of the park, holds a significant place in American history. It served as the seat of the government of Pennsylvania from 1732 to 1756. More importantly, it was here that the Second Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence, drafted by Thomas Jefferson, on July 4, 1776. This marked a decisive act in the founding of the United States of America.
