the bell was made to hang in a church. It was the use the bell was put to afterwards that made it famous. It was famously used in 1776 to summon residents of Philadelphia to hear the Declaration of Independence.

What did Past and Stow do to the Liberty Bell?
Two Philadelphia foundry workers named John Pass and John Stow were given the cracked bell to be melted down and recast. They added an ounce and a half of copper to a pound of the old bell in an attempt to make the new bell less brittle. For their labors they charged slightly over 36 Pounds. The new bell was raised in the belfry on March 29, 1753. "Upon trial, it seems that they have added too much copper. They were so teased with the witticisms of the town that they will very soon make a second essay," wrote Isaac Norris to London agent Robert Charles. Apparently nobody was now pleased with the tone of the bell. Pass and Stow indeed tried again. They broke up the bell and recast it. On June 11, 1753, the New York Mercury reported, "Last Week was raised and fix'd in the Statehouse Steeple, the new great Bell, cast here by Pass and Stow, weighing 2080 lbs."

Why was the Liberty Bell picked as a national symbol?
The bell was first adopted as a symbol by abolitionist societies in the 1830's, who dubbed it the "Liberty Bell." The bell became famous after an 1847 short story claimed that an aged bell-ringer rang it on July 4, 1776, upon hearing of the Second Continental Congress's vote for independence. However, no bells were rung that day, because the Second Continental Congress did not make any announcement of the vote for independence on that date. The Liberty Bell became even more famous when it traveled to various exhibitions and celebrations around the country.
