Photographer’s Note

Independence Hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, is the location where the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America and its Constitution were debated, adopted and signed, 233 years ago.
The USA is a young nation, therefore there aren't many old monuments in the country. California is an even younger state whitin the Union. So, in the city of Buena Park, Orange County, California, they built this very accurate replica of the Independence Hall, so good that it was used in the film National Treasure.
When I was here I didn't know about this replica, therefore I had the strange feeling that I've see this building before (in films and photos), but not in California.
The city of Buena Park, southeast of Los Angeles, has a name that mixes the heritage of the Spanish and English languages in California, with an ungrammatical result.
This belongs to the Knott's Berry Farm (thanks Ray), adjacent to the theme park, with free entrance.
Location in WikiMapia: 33.8420851, -117.995806.
The real Independence Hall, in Philadelphia, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site [_*_]. See a Thorsten Buchen (thor68) photo of this building.
Happy Fourth of July for the American members.
