Is it For Whom the Bell Tolls?
No Dave it is not.
The Minnesota Liberty Bell is located on 12th street in front of the Veterans Service Building at the south end of the State Capitol Mall in St. Paul.
The Minnesota Liberty Bell is on 12th Street in front of the Veterans Service Building at the south end of the State Capital Mall in St. Paul. I also found an interesting question and answer to share with everyone: Are there replicas of the Liberty Bell in every State?
In 1950, the United States Department of the Treasury and several private companies commissioned Paccard Foundry, in Annecy-le-Vieux, France, to cast 55 full size replicas of the Liberty Bell. The bells were intended as gifts to each State, U.S. territory and the District of Columbia to be displayed and rung on special occasions. This was part of a savings bond drive conducted in the summer of 1950 with the slogan, "Save for Your Independence". For a list of the "Replica Liberty Bells" and their location by State visit www.libertybellmuseum.com/statebells.htm
PS- Good one, Jeff!!
