Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
I always enjoy going to the Liberty Bell when we are in Philadelphia, is symbolizes America’s Independence. It was made in 1752 and was originally placed in the steeple of what we now know as Independence Hall which you can see in the background, and was cast with the lettering “Proclaim LIBERTY throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof”. It first cracked when rung after its arrival in Philadelphia and the crack grew over the years. In the 1830s, the bell was adopted as a symbol by abolitionists, who called it the “Liberty Bell.”
