This bell is located at Saint Joan of Arc Roman Catholic Parish on West Areba Street in Hershey, Pennsylvania. The bell is on display in front of the school building, across the street from the main church building. The bell was manufactured by the McShane Bell Foundry in Baltimore, Maryland in 1921. On the front of the bell it says, "Presented to St. Joan of Arc Church, in memory of the late Mrs. M.S. Hershey, Hershey, PA. September 1921. Rev. P.J. Phelan, Rector." According to the parish's website, the bell was donated by Milton Hershey, the founder of the Hershey Chocolate company, in memory of his wife who was "a devout Catholic."
