Legend has it that the Liberty Bell rang out from Independence Hall in Philadelphia on July 8th, 1776 signaling to the world that America had declared its independence.  The story so captured the imagination of the citizens that a legend was born.  In fact, historians tell us that the steeple was in disrepair and it's very doubtful that the bell actually rang in 1776

The Liberty Bell Center was opened in 2003 and every 4th of July at 2 p.m. eastern time descendant children of the signers of the Declaration of Independence tap the bell 13 times, representing the 13 original states.  

Enjoy!
