Independence
Hall
The Independence Hall where the Declaration of Independence and the U.S.
Constitution were signed, and the Articles of Confederation were drafted.
This site in Philadelphia is the home to the major milestone in the development
of the nation.
The Liberty
Bell bears silent testimony to the many milestones etched in America's past.
Since the bell was originally sent over from London's Whitechapel Foundry
in 1752, and recast in Philadelphia by John Pass and John Stow in 1753,
it has witnessed many remarkable chapters in American history. The bell's
signature crack was reported to have occurred on July 8, 1835 and through
the years, the crack extended. The bell's last clear note was heard in February
1846 when it rang in tribute to the nation's first president.
