In 1955, fifty five replicas of the Liberty Bell were cast and one was given to each State and Territory. Most are displayed on State Capitol grounds. This series includes other Liberty Bell replicas, such as America250PA Semiquincentennial Bells (but not the bell sculptures (fiberglass) painted by Pennsylvania artists for the ‘Bells Across PA’ art series that are also part of the America250PA Semiquincentennial celebration).
