Liberty Bell
54 copies in 1950
In 1950, the government of the United States ordered at PACCARD Foundry 54 copies of the famous « Liberty Bell » – which rang the Independence in 1776, of which one for every state of the USA.
A copie of the Liberty Bell was offered to Annecy by the American government in recognition of the work and the know-how of the workers and as a reminder that freedom is a common heritage. This bell was installed in « l’Église des Fins ».
