American Legion Freedom Bell, Monument at Union Station, Washington DC, US
The Freedom Bell stands 89 inches tall and weighs eight tons, featuring an exact reproduction of the Liberty Bell at double its size.
The American Legion presented this bell during the 1976 bicentennial celebrations, after which it traveled through 48 states on the American Freedom Train.
The bell displays the inscription from Leviticus 25:10, proclaiming liberty throughout the land, continuing the tradition of the original Liberty Bell.
Located in front of Union Station near the U.S. Capitol, the monument remains accessible to visitors throughout the day and night.
The bell rings in the musical key of F, specifically chosen to represent freedom, and maintains its original sound without the characteristic crack.
