Liberty Bell Takes a Trip Through History
From Times Wire Reports
Strapped to a specially made cart with wheels, the Liberty Bell made a four-hour, 1,000-foot journey to its new Philadelphia home in a procession featuring historical reenactments.
The bell was moved to the Liberty Bell Center, a new facility constructed as part of a sweeping $314-million transformation of Independence Mall. The trip was interrupted frequently by actors reenacting historic moments.
