New in 2008! An exact replica of the Liberty Bell, from the inscriptions to the crack, was donated to Midwestern State University by community members Aurora and Phil Bolin. The bell itself stands 42-3/16 inches high, has a diameter of 44-1/2 inches and weighs 2,050 pounds. Cast in bronze, this amazing piece was hand crafted by a company in France. The 12,000-pound display includes a large granite base and two plaques, one of the Preamble of the U.S. Constitution and the other of the Declaration of Independence. |
