Liberty Bell, Independence National Historical Park, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

The Liberty Bell, an icon of American independence, hangs in the Liberty Bell Center in Independence National Historical Park, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Liberty Bell is perhaps best known for its distinctive crack. Cast in London in 1752, the bell's rim cracked the first time it was rung. It was recast two times in America; the crack it is known for today developed sometime between 1817 and 1846. The inscription on the bell reads in part, "Proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof." Independence Hall, the building where both the United States Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution were debated and adopted, is visible in the background. The Liberty Bell is three feet tall, has a circumference of 12 feet, and weights 2080 pounds.
