Sister Liberty Bell On Display At Villanova Campus
Villanova pa July 1 The quiet sister bell to the Liberty Bell, ordered in 1768 and once used with a clock to strike hours, sits on display in Villanova Universitys new library. The bell rang on Independence Day 1776 and later endured a rocky history, including a 1844 destruction and 1847 recasting. It was moved to Villanova in 1942 for the centennial celebration and now shares in Independence Hall tourist lore alongside the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia.
