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  a picture of our Liberty Bell by clicking on the web sites below.
