Independence Hall

Description

The room where it happened. One can almost imagine the conversations, the discussions, the arguments, and the heat. You can almost see and hear the ghosts of the past. I think of Ben Franklin's words:

"I have often looked at that picture behind the president without being able to tell whether it was rising or setting. But now at length I have the happiness to know that it is a rising and not a setting sun."
