\”We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.\”

In light of the recent election outcome, during times when our nation stands deeply divided on political, economic and social issues, we draw upon the spirit, strength and lessons gifted to us by our forefathers. One way to do so is to visit Philadelphia, the City of Brotherly Love. It is the largest city in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the fifth-most-populous city in America. Philadelphia was founded in 1682, by William Penn, to serve as the capital of the Pennsylvania Colony. Located along the Delaware and Schuylkill Rivers, Philadelphia’s central location in the colonies rendered the city a natural meeting place for our founding fathers. It is one of the most important historical cities in the United States, playing instrumental roles during the American Revolution, in the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776 and the Constitution in 1787. Philadelphia also served as one of the nation’s capitals during the Revolutionary War and as the temporary U.S. capital while Washington, D.C. was under construction. The Liberty Bell and Independence Hall are two ideal destinations for those who wish to reconnect to America’s history during these politically uncertain times.
