| Inside the House Chambers in Congress Hall in Philadelphia which served as the seat of the US Congress from December 6, 1790 to May 14, 1800. According to the tour guide the seat I am sitting in is where James Madison sat. The chair is obviously a reproduction, I doubt they would let me sit in an original. It was still cool though. |
