The Florida Liberty Bell is located on the east side of the Capitol complex in front of the House Office Building in downtown Tallahassee. This is a Liberty Bell replica and there are 54 more replicas in state capitols and a few other places. You can find out more about these replicas here.

Beautiful picture, Lois!
I didn't know about all the replica bells. I like how you framed this photo.
I didn't even know the bell was there! I learned something new today, thanks Lois!
The Connecticut replica is in the main hall of the Connecticut State Capitol.
Had no idea there were so many! Great composition:D
Interesting that they were made in France. The information said that the bells can be rung. I do not see a crack on the bell in your photo. I guess that it would be impossible to make a new casting that replicates the crack.
Interesting! I didn't know we had one here in Florida.
So, where's the crack. I wish someone would ring it loudly in the ears of the ding-a-lings making our laws - might wake 'em up!
The Tallahassee Liberty Bell was rung in 1969. It played incredibly.
Thanks for your comment Randy! I wish I could have heard it being rung, but I didn't move to Tallahassee until 1971.
