Where is Philadelphia's Liberty Bell displayed today?

Philadelphia’s Liberty Bell is displayed at the Liberty Bell Center.

The Liberty Bell Center is part of Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The bell can be viewed through large windows, with Independence Hall visible nearby. The site allows visitors to see the bell without confusing its current exhibition location with the building where the Declaration of Independence was debated and adopted.

The bell was cast in London in 1752 for the Pennsylvania State House. It cracked during an early test ringing and was recast in Philadelphia by John Pass and John Stow. Its most famous physical feature is the large crack that developed during the nineteenth century and ended its regular use.

The Liberty Bell became a national symbol long after the Revolution. Its inscription, “Proclaim LIBERTY Throughout all the Land unto all the Inhabitants thereof,” comes from Leviticus 25:10. The bell was removed from Philadelphia during the American Revolutionary War to prevent British forces from melting it for ammunition, then returned after the danger passed.
