The Liberty Bell was originally call the State House Bell. Abolitionist changed the name to The Liberty Bell during the unit-slavery movement.
INSCRIBED ON THE LIBERTY BELL
"By Order of the Assembly of the Province of Pensylvania for the State House in Philada."
Pennsylvania was misspelled on the bell, in fact it was also misspelled on the original version of the Constitution.

We took our British guests on a tour through Independence Hall neighborhoods.
The architecture was amazing.
Especially knowing the buildings were built in the 1700's and are still standing today.

great photos - I didn't know the Liberty Bell had a connection to abolitionists. Typos in the Constitution? Not a surprise - great minds misspell alike.
