Liberty Bell Center
Come with us as we visit The Liberty Bell, perhaps the most famous symbol of American Liberty in the National Historic Park. Commissioned in 1752 the bell cracked on its initial test ring and was re-casted two years later by local workman John Pass and John Stow with the lettering, "Proclaim LIBERTY Throughout all the Land unto all the Inhabitants Thereof," a quote from the King James Bible referring to the jubilee when slaves were freed and debts forgiven every fifty years. It's this bell that would ring to call lawmakers to their meetings and the townspeople together to hear the reading of the news. Benjamin Franklin wrote to Catherine Ray in 1755, "Adieu, the Bell rings, and I must go among the Grave ones and talk Politicks." After ninety years of heavy use the new narrow crack that had again formed was purposefully widened in an attempt to restore the bell's tone. It did not work, and the Philadelphia Public Ledger takes up the story in its February 26, 1846 publication: "The old Independence Bell rang its last clear note on Monday last in honor of the birthday of Washington and now hangs in the great city steeple irreparably cracked.

Центр Колокола Свободы
Пойдем с нами, когда мы посетим Колокол Свободы, пожалуй, самый известный символ американской свободы в Национальном историческом парке. Колокол, введенный в эксплуатацию в 1752 году, треснул на своем первоначальном испытательном кольце и был повторно отлит двумя годами позже местными рабочими Джоном Пассом и Джоном Стоу с надписью «Провозгласить СВОБОДУ по всей земле всем ее жителям», цитата короля. Библия Иакова относится к юбилею, когда рабы были освобождены и долги прощались каждые пятьдесят лет. Именно этот колокол звонил, чтобы созвать законодателей на свои собрания и горожан вместе, чтобы послушать новости. Бенджамин Франклин писал Кэтрин Рэй в 1755 году: «Прощай, звонит колокол, и я должен пойти к могильным и поговорить о политике». После девяноста лет интенсивного использования снова образовавшаяся новая узкая трещина была намеренно расширена в попытке восстановить тон колокола. Это не сработало, и Philadelphia Public Ledger продолжает эту историю в своей публикации от 26 февраля 1846 года: «Старый Колокол Независимости пробил свою последнюю четкую ноту в последний понедельник в честь дня рождения Вашингтона и теперь висит на колокольне великого города. безвозвратно треснул.
66
Зал Независимости
Мы посетим Зал Независимости: здание, где обсуждались и принимались Декларация независимости Соединенных Штатов и Конституция Соединенных Штатов. Историческое сооружение сейчас является центральным элементом Национального исторического парка Независимости в Филадельфии. Зал Независимости был основным местом встречи Второго Континентального конгресса с 1775 по 1783 год и местом проведения Конституционного собрания летом 1787 года, на котором 55 величайших государственных деятелей Америки разработали Конституцию этих Соединенных Штатов.
67
Дом президента
Мы посетим первый в Америке «Белый дом», где президенты Джордж Вашингтон и Джон Адамс оба служили в должности, когда Филадельфия была столицей Соединенных Штатов с 1790 по 1800 год. Иностранные высокопоставленные лица и члены конгресса и сената часто посещали Президентский дом по официальным и неофициальным делам. Бенедикт Арнольд также жил в здании в качестве военного губернатора в Филадельфии после британской эвакуации города во время американской войны за независимость.
68
Конгресс-холл
Мы посетим Конгресс-холл, историческое сооружение, в котором состоялись две инаугурации президентов (Вашингтон и Адамс) и которое было домом Конгресса США с 1790 по 1800 год, когда Филадельфия была столицей Соединенных Штатов.
69
Франклин Корт
Мы посетим Франклин Корт, комплекс музеев, сооружений и исторических мест в Национальном историческом парке Независимости, где жил Бенджамин Франклин во время его пребывания в Конституционном съезде. Мы обсудим там жизнь и времена одного из самых плодовитых людей и государственных деятелей Америки (Бенджамина Франклина), который, размышляя о революции против британской короны, сказал: «Джентльмен, мы должны держаться вместе, иначе мы все, несомненно, повесимся поодиночке».
70
Новый зал военного музея
Мы посетим местонахождение первого в Америке Пентагона, где во время американской революции была сформулирована американская военная стратегия и разведка.
71
Музей Бенджамина Франклина
Мы обсудим жизнь и времена американского патриота Бенджамина Франклина, от его электрических экспериментов, полиграфической и издательской деятельности до его жизни в качестве государственного деятеля.
72
B. Бесплатное почтовое отделение Франклина
Мы посетим почтовое отделение и музей Бенджамина Франклина, единственное почтовое отделение в колониальном стиле, которым управляет Почтовая служба США. Это живое изображение ушедшего колониального образа жизни, и это единственное действующее почтовое отделение в Соединенных Штатах, которое не развевается под американским флагом (потому что в 1775 году, когда Бенджамин Франклин был назначен генеральным почтмейстером, его еще не было). Почтовый штемпель «Б. Свободный Франклин» до сих пор используется для гашения марок. В музее на втором этаже представлены экспонаты истории почты и памятные вещи.
73
Столярный зал
Мы посетим Зал Плотников, место проведения Первого Континентального Конгресса в 1774 году, где в течение трех декабрьских ночей 1775 года Бенджамин Франклин тайно встречается с Джоном Джеем, Фэнсис Даймон и французским шпионом Жюльеном Ашаром де Бонвулуаром. Встречи в конечном итоге привели к переговорам о поддержке французами колонистов. Колонии, вероятно, не смогли бы выиграть Войну за независимость без помощи Франции. Зимой 1777 года британские войска заняли американскую столицу во время Войны за независимость и заняли это здание.
74
Первый банк США
Мы посетим Первый банк Соединенных Штатов. Поддерживаемый Александром Гамильтоном, первым министром финансов, Первый банк Соединенных Штатов был основан в 1797 году и известен своим архитектурным дизайном.
75
Второй банк Соединенных Штатов
Созданный по образцу Первого банка Александра Гамильтона, Второй банк Соединенных Штатов был основан президентом Джеймсом Мэдисоном в 1816 году и утратил свой устав при президентстве Эндрю Джексона в 1834 году. Здесь мы обсудим Александра Гамильтона и Эндрю Джексона: и известные дуэли, в которых участвовали оба мужчины. среди прочего.
76
Музей Американского философского общества
Американское философское общество было основано в 1743 году Бенджамином Франклином через два года после Пенсильванского университета, с которым оно остается тесно связанным. Среди первых участников были Джордж Вашингтон, Джон Адамс, Томас Джефферсон, Александр Гамильтон, Томас Пейн, Дэвид Риттенхаус, Николас и Оуэн Биддл, Бенджамин Раш, Джеймс Мэдисон и другие. Проходя мимо, мы обсудим Франклин, Пенсильванский университет и первый в Америке хирургический центр, примыкающий к этому зданию.
77
Библиотечная компания Филадельфии
Библиотечная компания, основанная Бенджамином Франклином в 1731 году, является первым учреждением в мире, предоставляющим материалы в аренду представителям общественности. Проходя мимо, мы обсудим историю этого места и историческое место... и первых государственных деятелей, посещавших это место.
78
Тодд Хаус
Мы увидим дом будущей первой леди Долли Мэдисон, где она жила со своим первым мужем Джоном Тоддом с 1791 по 1793 год. Построенный в 1775 году, Дом Долли Тодда отражает образ жизни среднего класса в Филадельфии 18-го века, с которым мы познакомимся.

Commissioned in 1752 the bell cracked on its initial test ring and was re-casted two years later by local workman John Pass and John Stow with the lettering, "Proclaim LIBERTY Throughout all the Land unto all the Inhabitants Thereof," a quote from the King James Bible referring to the jubilee when enslaved persons were freed and debts forgiven every fifty years.

Commissioned in 1752 the bell cracked on its initial test ring and was re-casted two years later by local workman John Pass and John Stow with the lettering, "Proclaim LIBERTY Throughout all the Land unto all the Inhabitants Thereof," a quote from the King James Bible referring to the jubilee when enslaved persons were freed and debts forgiven every fifty years.

This tour is excellent for newcomers to Philadelphia who are looking for a comprehensive overview of the must-see historical sites related to the Founding Fathers. Our tour guide was Kyle. He is a passionate and knowledgeable history buff who makes the tour engaging and informative. He has a particular interest in James Madison so If you have any James or Dolly Madision questions, he is your man. I would recommend doing this tour early in your trip and then returning to some of the sites that interest you (e.g. Independence Hall, Liberty Bell or the Benjamin Franklin museum) later on so you can go inside and spend a bit more time exploring.

Bill was phenomenal. He didn’t talk about history he made us feel like we were living in history. Wear comfy shoes, bring some water, and enjoy the moment.
