About The Liberty Bell: America's Beloved Symbol
The Liberty Bell has stood at the heart of American patriotism for well over two centuries, its famous zigzag crack as recognizable as the Leviticus inscription encircling its crown: "Proclaim Liberty Throughout All the Land Unto All the Inhabitants Thereof." Originally cast in London by the Whitechapel Bell Foundry in 1752, it cracked on its very first test ring and was recast in Philadelphia the following year by local craftsmen John Pass and John Stow. Today it rests in its own glass-walled pavilion near Independence Hall, where each Fourth of July it is gently tapped — never fully rung — in a quiet, resonant salute to the nation's birthday.
