PHILADELPHIA

October 2, 2002

We spent Tuesday night in New Jersey about 9 miles from downtown Philadelphia.  On Wednesday, we drove in to see Independence Square, en route to New York City.

The Liberty Bell

The visible "crack" is actually the repair of the original crack.  It later cracked all the way to the crown, but that crack can't be seen in this photo.

What today is called "Independence Hall" is actually the Pennsylvania State House.  It is the place where both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were ratified.
