This 4th of July, Samantha Wallace, 15, a rising junior at York High School, plans to be in Philadelphia to tap the Liberty Bell in Independence National Historical Park.
Every 4th of July, dignitaries and direct descendants of the signers of the Declaration of Independence — referred to as Junior Members of The Society of the Descendants of the Declaration of Independence — are invited to be bell-tappers.
The bell is tapped at 2 p.m. each year to celebrate the anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
