Pennsylvania is Misspelled on the Liberty Bell. Share this: Because no clearly accepted spelling of the colonyâs name existed at the time the Liberty Bell was cast, the stateâs name on the bell is misspelled-Pensylvania. Found in: Trivia.
Local craftsmen John Pass and John Stow cast a new bell in 1753, using metal from the English bell. The Speaker of the Pennsylvania Assembly had a Bible verse placed on the bell: âProclaim LIBERTY throughout all the Land unto all the inhabitants thereofâ(Leviticus 25:10).
