Description
In Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, a statue of George Washington stands at the entrance to Independence Hall.
A marker on the ground next to him signifies where Abraham Lincoln stood and hoisted a new flag with 34 stars during his train journey to Washington, DC, for his Presidential Inauguration. The date was February 22, 1861, George Washington's birthday and the 34th star was for Kansas, which had recently joined the Union.
