Thursday, 17 January 2008 18:13
On Ben Franklin's birthday and in recognition of his love of useful innovations, Independence National Historical Park is pleased to announce a new cell phone program. By dialing 267-519-4295 visitors will now be able to listen 24/7 to the stories our buildings tell. Park Rangers briefly explain the history behind the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, Washington Square and the other park buildings.

Designed to be user friendly and flexible, visitors may access the stops in any order from 10 to 31 or go in sequence for a tour of the park. Small signs are posted around the park with the numbers of the nearby buildings. You can also pick up a flyer at the Independence Visitor Center with the entire list of stops.

The cell phone program is provided by OnCell Systems of Pittsford, NY and calls to this local number (267-519-4295) are free except for air time on your cell phone. Visitor contributions to the park donation boxes are being used to fund this program.
