With the end of the federal government shutdown, some of #Philadelphia's most prized historic sites reopened Thursday, Nov. 13. Independence Hall welcomed visitors for a brief time, but then officials announced it would close until late January for preservation work. Still, other sites, such as the Liberty Bell, are open for the first time in six weeks. The end of the shutdown also brings relief to federal workers.
