Independence
Square is where the Declaration
of Independence was first read to the public on July 4,
1776. If you've done a lot of walking,
the numerous benches under shady trees
will provide some welcome rest as you
consider your next stop. If you are like
most people, it will be Independence
Hall, which borders the
Square's north side.
Getting There For detailed driving directions and

National Historic Park.
