This is the very room where all of that
took place. Each colony (state) had a table in this cramped room
and though delegates were not always present it was still a tight
quarters. According to the National Parks Service the room is as original as it can be. The chairs, tables and other fixtures aren't original to this room but are from that period. However, there is one piece in the room that is original...and if you had to pick one piece that you want to be original, this would be it. The chair behind the head table was the actual chair used by George Washing to preside over the Constitutional Convention. To see a close-up click here. |
