In preparation for the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, Independence Hall will be temporarily closed to the public. The closure will take place from November 13, 2025, to January 28, 2026, to allow preservation teams to complete essential interior work on the historic site.
The National Park Service has planned this closure to ensure that the site is in the best possible condition for the significant anniversary in 2026. This period will allow for a comprehensive refurbishment of the interior of Independence Hall, a crucial landmark in American history.
Visitors planning to visit the site during this period are advised to reschedule their visits to accommodate the temporary closure. The National Park Service appreciates the public’s understanding and cooperation during this time of preservation and preparation for the important milestone.
