Mission Statement

INDEPENDENCE HALL ASSOCIATION WAS FOUNDED IN 1942 TO SPEARHEAD THE CREATION OF THE INDEPENDENCE NATIONAL HISTORICAL PARK. THE ASSOCIATION IS WRITTEN INTO THE ENABLING LEGISLATION OF THE PARK AND STANDS AS AN INDEPENDENT GROUP OF PRIVATE CONCERNED CITIZENS OVERSEEING AND BEING CONSULTED ON MATTERS CONCERNING THE PARK. THE ASSOCIATION HELPED IN THE EFFORT TO RECONSTRUCT THE DECLARATION HOUSE; DONATED THE STATUE OF THE SIGNER, STANDING ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE INDEPENDENCE HALL GROUP OF BUILDINGS; AND ENCOURAGED THE DEVELOPMENT OF GUIDEBOOKS FOR PHILADELPHIA. THE ASSOCIATION'S CURRENT MISSION IS TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ABOUT THE REVOLUTIONARY AND COLONIAL ERAS OF AMERICAN HISTORY, AS WELL AS PHILADELPHIA GENERALLY. THIS IS ACCOMPLISHED PRIMARILY THROUGH THE WEBSITE WWW.USHISTORY.ORG, WHICH IS OWNED AND CONTROLLED BY THE ASSOCIATION.
