LECTURE: WHY DOES COLORADO HAVE A LIBERTY BELL?
Wednesday, October 20
Noon-1 p.m.
When Tom Campbell moved here from Philadelphia he discovered a big slice of home sitting in front of the Colorado Capitol - a full-size, functional Liberty Bell replica. This chance encounter set into motion a lifelong quest to see and share the stories of every Liberty Bell replica in the world. Learn the history of Colorado's Liberty Bell, missing bells, stolen bells, exploding bells and the 1950 promotional scheme that started it all.
You can attend this lecture in-person at the museum, or online.
The lecture is free, but you must register to receive the link to the online Webex meeting. More than one person can attend using the same computer.
