where U.S. history meets the ground.

We are the Independence Hall Association.

Founded in 1942 to spearhead the creation of the Independence National Historical Park, we are a nonprofit steward of U.S. history, dedicated to preserving, contextualizing, and sharing it with care and rigor.
Our public reference website, US history.org, makes comprehensive, authoritative, and valuable public scholarship accessible to millions of visitors annually.

We are proud to be used as source material for countless students and educators of public, private, and home schools in the US and abroad.
