3 Carpenters’ Hall Carpenters' Hall is a treasure in historic Philadelphia. is a treasure in historic Philadelphia.∞ By, Leslie Gray Smith

4 Carpenters’ Hall What happened at this site? o Carpenters' Hall is a treasure in historic Philadelphia. It hosted the First Continental Congress in 1774 and was home to Franklin's Library Company, The American Philosophical Society, and the First and Second Banks of the United States. o Today, Carpenters' Hall is open to the public and welcomes over 150,000 world-wide visitors to this wonderful Georgian building.

5 Carpenters’ Hall How did this building get started? o When Benjamin Franklin needed an architect to build his house, he turned to master builder Robert Smith of the Carpenters' Company. Smith not only belonged to the Carpenters' Company — he designed their headquarters, Carpenters' Hall. Founded in Philadelphia in 1724, the Carpenters' Company was organized to share information about the art of building, determine the value of completed work, hone architectural skills, and help indigent craftsmen.

6 Carpenters’ Hall Importance of this building site o 1776. It is a warm day in late June. Feel the intense heat as 103 delegates from the eleven counties of Pennsylvania crowd into the main hall to decide whether this politically important state wants to remain a loyal colony of England, or declare itself an independent colony. o Finally, all the delegates begin to understand that freedom from England's rules and regulations is the only way to provide happiness and safety for all persons who are living in America, a country two thousand miles away. o Pennsylvania proclaimed its independence, it can sign the Declaration of Independence along with the other American colonies. Hip. Hip. Hooray!

10 History of Christ Church ► Christ Church was founded in 1695 as a condition of William Penn’s Charter. ► Benjamin and Deborah Franklin and Betsy Ross were parishioners. Later, George Washington and John Adams attended services while they were the nation’s Chief Executives. ► Here, the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States was created from the ashes of the Church of England. ► At Christ Church, 25% of Philadelphia’s free and enslaved Africans were baptized, a school was created to educate slaves, and the first black priest, Absalom Jones, was ordained. ► On July 5 th, 1776 the signers of the Declaration of Independence came here to pray.

11 History of the Burial Ground The burial ground became the final resting place for over 4000 members of Christ Church including five signers of the Declaration of Independence: Benjamin Franklin, Joseph Hewes, Francis Hopkinson, George Ross, and Dr. Benjamin Rush. Also buried on these historic and sacred grounds are many of our nations early founders and leaders, prominent lawyers, medical pioneers, military heroes, victims of the Yellow Fever epidemic, and members of the Church from the colonial era up into the last decade.

27 The Liberty Bell

28 Famous Icon of American Independence Used to reside in the steeple of the Pennsylvania State House (Independence Hall) Now located in a glass pavilion in Independence Mall, in Philadelphia

29 First cast in 1752 by Whitechapel Bell Foundry and made of copper and tin. Circumference is 12 ft. and weighs 2080 pounds. It was cast with the lettering (part of Leviticus 25:10) "Proclaim LIBERTY throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof." It originally cracked when first rung after arrival in Philadelphia, and was twice recast by local workmen John Pass and John Stow, whose last names appear on the bell. It was originally used to summon lawmakers to legislative sessions and to alert citizens to public meetings and proclamations.Leviticus

30 How did it become a symbol of liberty? *Was believed to have been rung at the first reading of the Declaration of Independence on July 8, 1776. *A false story was invented that stated it was rung on July 4, 1776. This was later disproven. *Was named the “Liberty Bell” in the 1830’s by abolitionist groups. *Crack believed to have happened when bell was rung upon the death of Chief Justice John Marshall in 1835, but this is not historically confirmed. *Traveled around country from 1865 to 1915 to various expositions so that larger numbers of people could view it.

31 Classroom Applications There are some great lessons on these sites : *www.indepenenceparkinstitute.com -teacher guide including a variety of lessons for K-12. *www.nps.gov/nr/twhp/www/ps/les -lessons on national symbols *http://americanhistory.mrdonn.org -free powerpoints and lessons OR-a fabulous lesson on HERITAGE! In 1776, if you were to ask a Philadelphian where to find the Liberty Bell, they would not have been able to help you. If you had asked their grandchildren, 60 years later, they would have directed you to Independence Hall. What changed?

34 Penn’s Landing ► The area today known as Penn's Landing stretches along the Delaware River for about 10 blocks from Vine Street to South Street, and encompasses the spot where William Penn, Philadelphia's founder, first touched ground in his "greene country towne." ► After Penn's arrival, this area quickly became the center of Philly's maritime soul and the city's dominant commercial district. ► Today, however, Penn's Landing is a riverside park and the place where Philadelphians gather in the summer to hear music and on December 31 to usher in the New Year

35 A Short History William Penn first sailed up the Delaware River in the fall of 1682 aboard the ship Welcome, an aptly named vessel, for in Penn's progressive vision of his colony, all religions would be welcome to pray as they pleased. Penn arrived in Philadelphia by barge from the downriver town of Chester where the Welcome had moored. He alit near a tidewater basin called the Dock fed by a creek of the same name. At the time of Penn's arrival, the area was inhabited, though sparsely, by some landowners in his "holy experiment," as well as by Swedes, Dutch, and Indians. Many of these locals gathered to welcome Penn near the Blue Anchor Tavern, an inn being built along Dock Creek. Nineteenth-century historian John Fanning Watson, author of the nonpareil "Annals of Philadelphia and Pennsylvania," believed that the landing of Penn in Philadelphia rivaled the landing of the Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock in importance and should have been similarly canonized. Writing in 1842, a time when the Penn's Landing area was a web of wharves and commerce, he rhapsodized fancifully about what Penn might have seen in 1682: "the creek adorned with every grace of shrubbery and foliage, and beyond it...a few of the natives' wigwams, intermixed among the shadowy trees."

65 History 1700’s 1700’s Open-air markets flourished in Philadelphia during the time of William Penn. Farmers, fisherman, huntsman, and artisans hawked their goods in an open area from the Delaware River, running for one mile to (then) High Street, later renamed Market Street. As Philadelphia expanded so did the public markets.1800’s The activity became a nuisance and a traffic hazard that the city officials dismantled everything. This prompted indoor markets. The Reading Railroad’s terminal was elevated to build over a new consolidated market. There were 380 merchants the first year of operation. The Great Depression hurt the market business as did the labor unions. It became a Mecca for those seeking relief from rationing during WWII. In 1960 the market shuts down due to power outages and little attention. After the Railroad ceased to exist, the Reading Company revived the Market once again. 1900’s
