The 943-kg (2080-lb) Liberty Bell, originally cast in England in 1752, sounded on July 8, 1776, in Philadelphia at the first public reading of the Declaration of Independence.
It sounded again on each successive Independence Day (July 4th) until it cracked while being rung for the funeral of John Marshall, fourth chief justice of the United States Supreme Court, in 1835.
The bell now rests in a glass pavilion in Philadelphia and is considered a symbol of American independence.
