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!

Don't miss this stop at Independence Historical Park. The building hosted the 1st Continental Congress. Since 1770, the Hall has been continuously owned and operated by The Carpenters' Company
of the City and County of Philadelphia, which is the oldest craft guild in America. Nice exhibit showing how the building was built. There's also a small gift shop inside where you can purchase water. On the day we went, there was a volunteer docent who was a wealth of information on the building, history, and things to do in Pennsylvannia.

Carpenters’ Hall in Philadelphia is a hidden gem steeped in American history. This Georgian-style building, completed in 1775, has witnessed pivotal moments in the nation’s early days. It was here that the First Continental Congress gathered in 1774, setting the stage for the American Revolution. The hall’s walls have echoed with the voices of patriots and the footsteps of British soldiers during its brief occupation in 1777. Today, Carpenters’ Hall stands proudly as a symbol of craftsmanship and liberty, inviting visitors to walk through the same doors as the founders and to feel the weight of history in its hallowed halls.

?Carpenter Hall——is an important conference hall in the early days of the United States. Next, I will share with you some of my feelings after visiting~?
?I like the decoration style of the hall very much. The general high-end simplicity is matched with the right complexity of details. In the low-brightness yellow, the existence of black and white shows the seriousness and dignity of the leader?It is really a textbook color combination~
?Even after so many years, people can still feel the solemnity of taking the oath here?
?There are some coins of great men for sale in the exhibition hall. The prices are not cheap, but they are also relatively exquisite souvenirs?
??♀️The place here is not particularly big~ but the overall historical atmosphere is very strong. The first Continental Congress was held here. The Second Continental Congress met in Independence Hall and declared American independence. It is a landmark building with special significance in the United States?
❗️❗️If you are interested in history, retro, and architecture when you come to Philadelphia, it is highly recommended to visit Carpenter Hall. The combination of traditional and simple styles here also breaks through the fashion and high-end from a modern perspective, which is admirable~

We were honored to happen upon a reenactment outside Carpenters' Hall in fall 2023. It featured troops from the time of the Revolutionary War. Great to see that the Hall has been restored after the devestating fire of 2022. It is an important landmark in Philadelphia. Ben Franklin's Library Company resided on the second floor. The Hall was a field hospital during the Revolutionary War. Carpenters Hall is free to visit and is a unique historic landmark.

They got some pretty sick wooden chairs that you can stare at through a plastic box. Apparently they were original??? Idk i sat on it and it felt pretty new, so i kinda didn't believe them. But anyways you can just like walk in there and it's a pretty cool place, especially cause they sell copies of the declaration of Independence like the ones that were in National Treasure starring Nicolas Cage.
