About Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania is where the Declaration of Independence and US Constitution were both signed, in Philadelphia's Independence Hall, and the Liberty Bell still hangs nearby today. Philadelphia, the state's largest city, is also famous for its cheesesteak sandwiches and its role as one of the country's earliest and most important cities.
