Independence National Historical Park (INHP) located in the heart of Philadelphia, PA, is often thought of as the birthplace of the United States. The park is located on the site of many of the seminal events that carried the nation through its founding as a global leader of democratic ideals. INHP welcomes more than 4.3 million visitors every year. Many of these visitors line up to see what is the park’s most visited and most famous attraction, the Liberty Bell.

The Liberty Bell Center, Independence Hall (where both the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence were drafted), Congress Hall, the New Hall Military Museum, Franklin Court, the Bishop White House, and the Graff House are just some of the buildings that make up Independence National Historical Park — all of which are free to visit.

A $314 million reconstruction project dramatically transformed the look and feel of this great historical park complex. Ritorno fixtures by Selux met the exacting specifications and criteria in terms of aesthetics, lighting appropriateness, maintenance, and estimated cost efficiencies for the life of the product.
