The Declaration of Independence was debated and signed in the hall. Congress under the Articles of Confederation met there from March 1781 to June 1783. The Constitutional Convention met there from May to September 1787, where it debated, wrote, and signed the United States Constitution.

Under the Works Progress Administration, Pennsylvania began the Museum Extension Project, which employed artists, architects and craftsmen to create exhibits for the state's museums. Among the works produced were highly-detailed scale models of historic buildings. In anticipation of the September 1937 sesquicentennial of the U.S. Constitution, 2,600 plaster models of Independence Hall were mass-produced and shipped to schools and public buildings across the country.[13]
