min visit
This iconic brick building is where the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776 and the U.S. Constitution was debated and adopted in 1787, making it the birthplace of American democracy. The Georgian-style structure with its distinctive clock tower has witnessed the pivotal moments that shaped a nation, and standing in the Assembly Room connects you directly to those revolutionary conversations. Visitors can view the original furnishings and absorb the weight of history in the very rooms where founding fathers gathered to imagine a new country.
