Philadelphia, the City of Brotherly Love, is home to many iconic landmarks and historic events. Did you know that the Liberty Bell, one of Philly's most famous symbols, was originally called the 'State House Yard BELL'? It wasn't until 1846 that it became known as the Liberty Bell. This bell, which cracked in 1835, played a significant role in American history - it tolled to signal the start of independence for the United States! On January 8, 1777, George Washington's Continental Army marched through Philly, marking the beginning of their successful campaign against the British.
