Idaho’s Liberty Bell Restoration (Liberty Bell Restoration | America250 in Idaho)
As we celebrate America’s 250th birthday, Idaho is restoring her Liberty Bell which is one of
the most recognizable symbols of freedom and connects modern Idahoans to the enduring
sound of liberty heard in 1776.
The Idaho Liberty Bell was mounted on the Capitol steps in 1951. The bell’s yoke and existing
bolts and hardware are being comprehensively restored at Foundry Christoph of South
Carolina, the U.S. branch of the bell’s original foundry.
When the bell returns to Idaho it will be taken on a tour of the state for all Idahoans to enjoy
before it is installed back on the steps of the Capitol Building. This project was initiated by
the Idaho legislature’s America250 in Idaho Ambassador Program and is supervised by
the Idaho State Historical Society and the Idaho Capitol Commission.
To make that statewide journey possible, we are building the Liberty Bell Carriage — a secure,
historically inspired traveling display that will carry the Bell to parades, county events, schools, and
civic gatherings across Idaho.
We invite you to help Bring the Bell Home.

• Pay for the cost of the Foundry work
