Golden Liberty Bell
November 11, 1918
The Golden Liberty Bell and Tower was dedicated at the steps of City Hall
by members of Golden City Council and the Golden Community on
November 11, 2001.
The Golden Liberty Bell has great historical significance throughout the
community. It was once located in the area of Meyer's parking lot as the
town's first fire bell.
On November 11, 1918, it was the bell's resounding echo that proclaimed
the end to World War I to all in Golden and within earshot. The town's folk
came to ring the bell and after many hours of nonstop ringing the bell
finally cracked -- just as the National Liberty Bell did.
The Golden Jaycees first dedicated this bell on November 18, 1968 along
with members of the community. The children from Mitchell Elementary
School included a time capsule on this day. The capsule will be opened in
2018, one hundred years after the celebrated crack occurred.
Another time capsule has been placed in the tower on this rededication day,
November 11, 2001. Items contained in this capsule are from the area
school and community organizations. This capsule will be opened on
November 11, 2101.
