Riley history blog
Today we visited the liberty bell across from Independence Hall. Did you know that Washington turned his presidency over to Adams at Independence Hall? We also learned that the Liberty Bell was originally in Independence Hall, but after it cracked they moved it across the street to save it. We also toured the Constitution buliding. "WE THE PEOPLE," that is how the Constitution begins. We learned what it was for, what It did, and what it always will do. The Constitution was ratified from the Articles of Confederation. Philly is very historical!
