Philadelphia American Revolution Conference

These pictures were all taken around Independence Hall and the Independence Mall.

This is Holly.  She was one of the members of our group and also a tour guide at Independence Hall.

This is the chair that George Washington sat in while serving as President of the Philadelphia Convention.  It is the only original piece of furniture in the room.  At the top, there is an image of the sun carved into the chair.  There is a great quote about this chair from Benjamin Franklin:  "I have often looked at that behind the President without being able to tell whether it was rising or setting.  But now I...know that it is a rising...sun"  

The following pictures are from the House and Senate chambers of Independence Hall.  Independence Hall served as the home of the US Congress until 1800.

Portrait of King Louis.  The French supported the United States during the War for Independence.

Portrait of Queen Antoinette.

These are some of the things that were happening at Independence Mall.
