Happy July 4th Weekend !

 I want to share my impressions of the July 4th. This was the greatest and most unique event in the history of the government, the greatest creation of any conference of men. This is the standard for humanity, eloquent statements of the heart, courage and generosity that elevated society forever.


Independence Hall

When I visited this replica of the real Independence Hall just outside of Knott's Berry Farm 8039 beach blvd, Buena park. I saw Independence Hall in character with the period,

 a great straight wall of red brick marked by large white-framed windows and an entrance way reaching high to a bell tower.

    

 There is so much to see and to learn,The Liberty Bell is one of the iconic symbols of American independence this is a copy of the liberty bell, weighing only five pounds less than the original. do you know how much the original weighs? (2,080 #)

 The history in and of itself is enough to put me over the edge. It is a powerful room, my Favorite Room "The Assembly Hall" where Declaration of Independence was signed.

 It really cool to walk through this room and Yes, it was emotional when you gaze  

at the chairs.
  

Inside what I loved seeing most was where the founding Fathers met, sitting in Windsor chairs, to debate and sign the Declaration of Independence.

America's most popular chair, the Windsor used to be called Philadelphia chair because by 1740, they were being made in Philadelphia instead of imported from England.

This light, strong, and comfortable chair reached its highest point in beauty and variety of detail at the hands of American craftsmen.

American variations of the Windsor chair included the low-back, fan back, loop back and comb back. There were also Windsors with writing arms, Windsor cradles, Windsor high chairs, and Windsor settees. After the revolution they were made in N.Y, Rhode Island and Connecticut. They were also painted in green, white or black.

AMERICAN COLONIAL

   Late Colonial or Georgian C.1720 – 1787

Colonial means so much, so many beginnings, the beginnings of styles that would be subtly American, in harmony with a vast and beautiful land, where freedom would foster creation, and where both concepts would grow and spread,whatever the effort.

Wishing you a safe and happy American Colonial 

 Holiday weekend!
