The Philadelphia Companion

A cracked bell that's been silent for over 150 years, the room where two founding documents were signed, and the largest outdoor mural collection in the country --- the birthplace of American independence, with room to make it yours. The Philadelphia Companion's signature chapter takes on a question most visitors never think to ask: Why the Liberty Bell Has Been Silent for Over 150 Years. America's most famous bell hasn't actually rung since 1846 --- and it cracked not once, but at least twice before that.
