North Dakota’s Liberty Bell Replica

North Dakota’s Liberty Bell replica is now on view at the North Dakota Heritage Center & State Museum in Bismarck. After being stored in the state museum collections since 2015, the full-size bronze replica now offers visitors a connection to a significant symbol of American independence.   The state received the replica bell as a part of a 1950 U.S. savings bond drive in which bells were gifted to each state as a promotional strategy, generating savings bonds to help cover costs of World War II.  The ND Heritage Center & State Museum is open Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m., and Saturday-Sunday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m.  Admission is free.
