Carpenters' Hall

Delegates from the First Continental Congress met here in 1774 to resolve grievances with Great Britain. Escalating differences between the colonies and King George III led to the American Revolution. Built between 1770 and 1774 to showcase skilled craftsmen, this original building is still owned and operated by The Carpenters' Company. The first floor exhibits feature 18th century building techniques and original chairs used by the Continental Congress.
