Colorado Liberty Bell Replica - Denver, CO - Exact Replicas on Waymarking.com

In 1950, the United States Department of the Treasury assisted by several private companies selected Paccard Foundry in Annecy-le-Vieux, France, to cast 55 full-sized replicas of the Liberty Bell. The bells were shipped as gifts to states and territories of the United States and the District of Columbia to be displayed and rung on patriotic occasions. This was part of a savings bond drive held from May 15 to July 4, 1950 with the slogan "Save for Your Independence."

The Colorado Liberty Bell Replica adorns a prominent place on the lawns of Civic Center Park of Denver. This is literally across the parking area from the Colorado State Capital building.
