Liberty Bell 
 
This is the old Statehouse Bell, known today as the Liberty Bell. It was moved out of Philadelphia in 1777 (along with other bells) ahead of the British occupation to prevent it from being melted into shot. It spent the night in my hometown of Quakertown on its way to safety in Allentown.
