Palmer Park", after U.S. Senator Thomas E. Palmer, who originally created the park while he was giving a speech commemorating the end of the nineteenth century.

The Liberty Bell in Philadelphia

The Liberty Bell is a legendary symbol of American freedom, situated in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It has played an important role in our history and is regarded as one of the best sights in the city. The Bell was originally built by a foreman in 1793 as a phone device for the workers of the American Revolution. This was to serve as an early warning for farmers that they were approaching a dangerous situation. The telephone line connected the bell to a box that was later smashed by a British soldier and killed. The bell was then crushed and the lid was replaced by a wooden case, hence the name, Liberty Bell. Today, the bell can still be seen in Independence Hall. This historical attraction in Philadelphia is dedicated to the sacrifices made by many Americans during the Revolutionary War. Visitors can hear the history as they listen to a bell chime each day.
