The Merriam Theater has been extensively restored, and is reminiscent of the 1920's theater.

Liberty Bell
The Liberty Bell first sounded in Independence Hall to announce the first public reading of
the Declaration of Independence. It is widely disputed when the crack first appeared, but
the final ringing was on Washington's birthday in 1846. The Liberty Center opened to house
