This bell is the bell that sat atop the former Henderson County courthouse in Henderson, KY. There is a small plaque under the bell that reads, "OLD COURT BELL - This bell, once used to notify the people court was in session, hung in Henderson County's third courthouse from 1843 until 1963 when the building was demolished to make way for a new temple of justice."
The bell sits on a display on 1st St between Main St and Elm St
