The Tomb of the Unknown Revolutionary War Soldier
Philadelphia's Tomb of the Unknown Soldier was established in 1866 (55 years prior to the Tomb of the Unknowns was established at Arlington Memorial Cemetery) to honor soldiers who died during the American Revolutionary War. This is the sole monument honoring Revolutionary War soldiers, and is the place where thousands of sick and dying soldiers gathered. Located in Washington Square, the current memorial was built in 1954 and features an eternal flame and a statue of George Washington as he gazes toward Independence Hall.
Memorialized here are the words "Freedom is a light for which many men have died in darkness" As a part of this special C&L Alumni Association program, we will be presenting a wreath of remembrance at the Memorial.
Independence Hall
Independence Hall is where both the United States Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution were debated and adopted. It is now the centerpiece of the Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia. The building was completed in 1753 as the colonial legislature (later Pennsylvania State House) for the Province of Pennsylvania. It became the principal meeting place of the Second Continental Congress from 1775 to 1783 and was the site of the Constitutional Convention in the summer of 1787. The building is part of Independence National Historical Park and is listed as a World Heritage Site. A special guided tour of Independence Hall is included on this C&L Alumni Association program.
