Nice small historical spot to visit in the larger complex of buildings. They have informative placards and even actor re-enactments throughout the day. Free to visit and worth a stop.

We loved the history of this building! We happen upon it when we were walking around near Independence Hall. Glad we went in!

Another great colonial historic site that absolutely has to be visited in the city of Philadelphia. When you're standing in here, you really get an awesome sense of the history that took place there.
***Carpenters' Hall is closed for preservation and will reopen in winter 2023. Please visit the Independence Visitor Center at 599 Market St, Philadelphia, PA 19106, where Carpenters' Hall is presenting free, specially curated, and limited-time exhibitions. 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.
