The liberty bell is in Pennsylvania.....were its always been. XP
It was dubbed the Liberty Bell in 1830.
The Liberty Bell has never been "celebrated". It was rung on July 4, 1775 ( hence the name Liberty Bell) and it cracked, so it hasn't rung since.

The Liberty Bell wasn't named as we know it until it was 86 years old. The bell's original name was "State House Bell." The bell officially became "The Liberty Bell" in 1839 and has exclusively been called such since 1893.
The bell was first called the Liberty Bell in 1835 in a journal published by the New York Anti-Slavery Society. The bell was made in 1753, so it was 82 years old when it was first called the Liberty Bell.
Bells have often been used for religious purposes, and churches traditionally have bells, but bells have seldom been used for political purposes. The use of the liberty bell as a symbol of democracy is unique, since it is the only instance of a bell being used for that purpose.

The Liberty Bell was last rung on George Washington's birthday; February 22, 1846; and it was at this ringing that the crack on the bell widened, placing it permanently out of commission. Since then, the bell has not been rung; but is ceremoniously tapped, every July 4th.
Yes. It's been verified that the Liberty Bell was rung to toll Chief Justice Marshall's death; however, the bell didn't crack at that time, as some claim.
There were no silver dollars minted in 1950. The Franklin half dollar has the Liberty Bell on the reverse, The "6" above the bell must have been added after the coin left the mint. The "6' reduces the value of the coin to the value of the silver in it.
You can find the Liberty Bell in Phildelphia. It is in some kind of building with glass the whole way around the bell. So if your walking through Phillie you can see the bell. It's a really cool and informational trip that I took in 4th grade. It was a good experence. If you've never been to Phillie to see the Liberty Bell, consider it. Again, it is in the heart of Phildelphia, PA.
