Independence Historic Park , home of the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall, is where your history lesson starts.  Both the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution were drafted and signed here. Stop at the The Independence Visitor Center to buy tickets for tours and pick up maps and brochures to help with your time at the park.   The park has over 20 buildings open to the public with park rangers who can answer all your history questions.  In the summer you will find storytellers wandering the park telling historic tales of the times.
