The Liberty Bell was made in London, England in 1752 and has become the symbol of freedom in the United States.
The bell weighs about 2000 pounds!!
No one knows how it got cracked. But by 1846 a thin crack began to make the bell sound funny. It was fixed so the bell could be rung for Washington's birthday on February 23, 1846.
Today, the Liberty Bell hangs in Philadelphia at the Liberty Bell Pavilion and is still rung each July 4th.
