What People Remember

Many people remember the Liberty Bell having a large, jagged, or even multiple cracks running through it.

What's Actually True

The Liberty Bell has a single, relatively thin crack that runs from its lip up through its center. It was actually a repair attempt in 1846 that caused the crack to worsen to its current state, making it unusable for ringing.
