The Liberty Bell was made here.
- JoeAltmaier 10y agoAmazing! From the below link: "Speaker of the Pennsylvania Assembly Isaac Norris first ordered a bell for the bell tower in 1751 from the Whitechapel Foundry in London." However that bell immediately failed! No warranty I guess? Maybe we can contact WhiteChapel quickly before they're gone... Anyway it was recast locally. Ultimately that one failed too (after 90 years) so I guess well done local boys? https://www.nps.gov/inde/learn/historyculture/stories-libertybell.htm https://www.nps.gov/inde/learn/historyculture/stories-libert...
