The Liberty Bell is now housed in the Liberty Bell Center which was built in 2003. An interesting fact: On every Fourth of July, at 2 pm Eastern time, children who are descendants of Declaration signers symbolically tap the Liberty Bell 13 times while bells across the nation also ring 13 times in honor of the patriots from the original 13 states. Both of these places were so booked up with people wanting to tour them that we did not have time to see them before our time slot to King Tut. The pictures of the Liberty Bell came from the internet site http://www.ushistory.org/libertybell/index.html.
