Effort to Move Liberty Bell Sparks West Tour Plan
Des Moines reports a push to transport the Liberty Bell by motorcar along a Lincoln highway route to reach western towns before the exposition. Petitions ask Philadelphia mayor to alter the rail route, arguing many western residents would miss viewing the historic bell and that this may be its last departure from Independence Hall. The plan envisions a protected, carefully designed auto car journey marking the bell’s path. The bell was cast in London in 1752 for the Pennsylvania assembly and recast after a crack upon arrival. It rang on July 4, 1776, to celebrate independence.
