Our Local Liberty Bell

Original owner: Provident Federal Savings and Loan 1976 Justin Kramer commissioned the bell, first with commissioning the mold and then the final casting by the Paccard Bell Foundry, Annecy, France. The bell was transported from France to the United States and mounted to a trailer designed to be pulled by a team of miniature ponies complete with Flags. The Bell then toured throughout southern California in many Bicentennial Parades. It’s last official event outside of it’s permanent display was the Hemet’s Christmas Parade.
