America250PA Bells Across PA Unveiling: Philadelphia County

The Pennsylvania Commission for the United States Semiquincentennial (America250PA) was established by the legislature and Governor in 2018 to plan, encourage, develop, and coordinate the commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States, Pennsylvania's integral role in that event, and the impact of its people on the nation's past, present, and future.

Bells Across PA has given artists across the commonwealth the opportunity to decorate a three-foot fiberglass bell to commemorate the upcoming Semiquincentennial. Artists were invited to submit their bell ideas, with a final design chosen by the bell's sponsor. Each bell will be a unique, original piece, with the goal to have at least one in each of the 67 counties. The program is interactive, encouraging visitors to touch and feel the designs.

Join us for an exciting event as we unveil a bell in Philadelphia County! We'd like to extend a sincere thank you to Steven Scott and Linda Bradley for sponsoring this bell. Another thank you to Gail Gaines who designed the bell!
