The Liberty Bell cracked for the second time today in 1835.

This was 11 years before its third and final crack which caused its retirement.

NOW: America is burying a nearly one-ton time capsule beneath Philadelphia's Independence National Historical Park as part of the nation's 250th birthday celebration.

Inside are nearly 200 artifacts from all 50 states, Washington, D.C., the U.S. territories, all three branches of government, and everyday Americans—including a signed pocket Constitution, a crystal from the 2026 Times Square New Year's Eve ball, a Coca-Cola message in a bottle, a Rose Parade flag, and more capturing life in America today.

The waterproof capsule is being sealed underground for the next 250 years and isn't expected to be opened until 2276.

It's such a shame that so many events planned in Philadelphia for the 250 Anniversary of America had to be canceled due to excessive heat. They have planned this celebration for close to four years.

Imagine celebrating America's 250th birthday without Pennsylvania.

@SenFettermanPA and I were determined that wasn't going to happen.

Now PA has one of the best booths at the Great American State Fair.

JUST IN: NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani used America’s 250th anniversary to sharply criticize the country, accusing the U.S. of allowing children to go hungry while billionaires and “oligarchs” gain more power.

He said America’s wealth was built by working people with “calloused, dirt-streaked hands" while accusing the country of allowing the wealth built by workers to be concentrated in “the soft hands of a precious few.”

Today in 1937, a 24 hour honor guard was posted for the first time at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery.

It has been continuously guarded ever since.

July 3, 1776 — With independence approved, Congress turned to Thomas Jefferson’s Declaration of Independence, spending nearly the entire day revising the document line by line.

[Jimmy King @Jimmyking35]

First time ever being inside the First Bank of the United States which opened in 1797 here in Philadelphia. Very cool to see

A message to Americans... 250 years from now.

A 900-pound time capsule packed with items from all 50 states has officially been sealed ahead of America's 250th birthday.
The capsule, created by the nonpartisan America250 commission, will be buried in Philadelphia on July 4, 2026, and isn't scheduled to be opened until the year 2276.

After years of planning, engineers say the moment the lid was finally sealed was both surreal and emotional, as part of many celebrations for the a special independence day.
