Independence Hall

When the 56 men signed the Declaration of Independence in 1776, they knew that they were making history. When it was read aloud outside Independence Hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, a new nation was founded. Independence Hall colorfully illustrates the many historical acts that took place within the red brick walls of this landmark building. Informative sidebars, a timeline of events, a bibliography for further reference, and a glossary of unfamiliar terms aid young readers as they explore the establishment of the United States of America.
