The Liberty Bell was commissioned in 1751 by the Pennsylvania Provincial Assembly to commemorate the 50th anniversary of William Penn’s Charter of Privileges. Issued in 1701, the charter granted important political and religious rights to Pennsylvania colonists. The bell was intended for the Pennsylvania State House, later known as Independence Hall.
