54 replicas of the Liberty Bell were cast in France in 1950 to promote the sale of U.S. Savings Bonds. They were distributed to the states by the U. S. Treasury Department.

The Missippi Liberty Bell made an historic journey during our nation's Bicentennial year, 1975-1976. On loan to the Southern Baptist Convention and mounted on a truck furnished by the Ford Motor Company, the bell traveled approximately 50,000 miles and made hundreds of appearances pealing forth the message "Let Freedom Ring!"
