Times tickets were required for entry and it’s only open on weekends right now. Enjoyed Founders Hall with all the bronze statues. Unfortunately, so many people felt it necessary to rub Thomas Jefferson; he’s now “shiny”. The Civil War and Women’s vote were interesting.

You only need an hour or so to get through the place so it is good for short attention spans.…

This a newer member of the sites around the Independence Mall. It has historic and interactive displays considering Constitution history and current events. It is a good primer for understanding the document which is the basis of our government. Although it is not an historic site, it has a deep message.…
