The Liberty Bell
If you are visiting Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, which is in the
northeastern part of the United States, do not miss the
Liberty Bell. It was built in England. On July 8, 1776 the
bell was rung to announce the first reading of the Declaration
of Independence. It is a symbol of liberty and freedom in the
United States. The bell no longer rings because it was cracked
a long time ago. It weighs about 2000 pounds. You can see
