阿拉巴马州在美国村开放独立大厅的复制品, 纪念创始人姆沃克和独立宣言250周年. Alabama opens replica of Independence Hall at American Village, honoring founder Tom Walker and the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.

2025年9月25日, 阿拉巴马州蒙特瓦尔洛美国村独立会堂(American Village)开业, 总督凯·伊维(Kay Ivey)剪彩。 The grand opening of a replica of Independence Hall at American Village in Montevallo, Alabama, took place on September 25, 2025, with Governor Kay Ivey cutting the ribbon. 该建筑以费城历史悠久的独立厅为蓝本，是公园已故创始人汤姆·沃克 （Tom Walker） 的长期愿景，他在仪式前几个小时去世。 The structure, modeled after Philadelphia’s historic Independence Hall, was a longtime vision of the park’s late founder, Tom Walker, who passed away hours before the ceremony. 沃克是美国历史教育的热诚倡导者,他花了数十年时间建造了非营利网站,每年吸引数千名学生进行沉浸式学习。 Walker, a dedicated advocate for American history education, had spent decades building the nonprofit site, which draws thousands of students annually for immersive learning experiences. 该大厅是纪念《独立宣言》250周年的努力的一部分,既是对美国创始原则的赞扬,也是沃克遗留下来的公民参与和领导力的永久纪念碑。 The hall, part of efforts to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, stands as both a tribute to U.S. founding principles and a lasting memorial to Walker’s legacy of civic engagement and leadership.
