"Where in the World is....."
Location #7 Independence Hall, Philadelphia, PA United States

     "Does the year 1776 ring a bell for you?"  I gave this 'clue' to my husband and he answered "Independence Hall". 
      I have visited Independence Hall many times over the years.  My most recent visit was the summer of 2005.  I love standing in the hall and thinking of all the famous men of early American history who sat here.  George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams all spoke here. Sadly, the Liberty Bell is no longer in the tower but you can still see the bell with it's big crack.
