The "Liberty Bell" had its last clear note rung on Monday February 23, 1846. The bell was rung to commemorate the Birthday of George Washington.
It was determined the final expansion of the crack which rendered the Bell unringable was on Washington's Birthday in 1846.
The Philadelphia Public Ledger takes up the story in its February 26, 1846 publication:
"The old Independence Bell rang its last clear note on Monday last in honor of the birthday of Washington and now hangs in the great city steeple irreparably cracked and dumb. It had been cracked before but was set in order of that day by having the edges of the fracture filed so as not to vibrate against each other ... It gave out clear notes and loud, and appeared to be in excellent condition until noon, when it received a sort of compound fracture in a zig-zag direction through one of its sides which put it completely out of tune and left it a mere wreck of what it was."
It was last rung on George Washington's birthday in 1846. It is tapped every 4th of july.
The last time the Liberty Bell Rang was on George Washington's Birthday in 1843. At that point, the crack was so large, that it could not be used again.
Washington's Birthday 1846 was the last time.
In 1846 for Washington's Birthday.
