Independence Mall, Philadelphia, PA (September, 2003)

 
Smack dab in the middle of center city Philadelphia is enough historical "mass" to solidly consider it the birthplace of America.  From Independence Hall and the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution to the First Bank of the U.S. to Betsy Ross and the American Flag, Philadelphia has done a fantastic job preserving these buildings and settings all in the middle of a major U.S. city.

Independence Mall is the term of the area around Independence Hall the Liberty Bell and the National Constitution Center but just a little wandering around will take you past some pretty significant pieces of American history.
