Philadelphia - Liberty Bell

Visiting The Liberty Bell in PA is of equivalent importance as that of the Statue of Liberty in NY. Historically both of equal fame. The bell symbolizes the liberation of slavery and forming the constitution.

The Bell is in display , which has a crack. Ideally first we should go to the Visitor center and collect the pass for the Independence Hall tour. Note that none of these have a cost for the ticket. After that can go around first to the bell, then the Constitution Center, this has a cost to the ticket ($12), so can go by choice. Then can visit the Independence hall and the George Washington first Presidential Office. The carpenter's hall is also of importance where the first papers where signed where US was born, where 10 states were united first. The first Supreme Court, and the other Presidential offices are all one after the other. The nice clocks on the buildings are worth noting. The stretch to walk from the hall to the Constitution Center is also nice an can take some snaps.

There is a model of a Lord like person sitting in the Carpenter's hall with whom we can take a photograph.
