The
Liberty Bell Center
The new Liberty Bell Center features exhibits that examine the Liberty Bell
as an international symbol of Liberty and as a national symbol of liberty and
freedom both attained and not yet attained, as it was used by the abolitionist,
suffrage and civil rights movements throughout American history.
Betsy
Ross House
Few women in American history have
the fame of Betsy Ross. She is still cherished as the first
flag maker; any first-grader recognizes her name and can recite
her myth. Betsy's house, ironically, is not actually hers; it was a house where
she rented rooms. Nevertheless, tourists all year round visit the Betsy
Ross House, with only the Liberty Bell getting more visitors.
