March Program: The Story of the Justice Bell

March 9, 2019 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm

March is Women’s History Month!

Please join the King of Prussia Historical Society at 2:00 pm on Saturday, March 9, when Maria Savini, Upper Merion educator and history enthusiast, presents The Story of the Justice Bell.”  The program will be held in Patriot’s Hall at Washington Memorial Chapel, a short distance from the Justice Bell.

On September 25, 1920, the Justice Bell rang out at Independence Hall in acknowledgement of the newly ratified 19th Amendment.  Since then, it has become something of a historical footnote.  As America prepares to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of Women’s Suffrage, please join Maria Savini as she shares the story of the “Women’s Liberty Bell” currently housed in the Washington Memorial Chapel at Valley Forge National Historic Park.”

When:    Saturday, March 9 at 2:00 pm
What:     The Story of the Justice Bell
Who:      Maria Savini
Where:   Patriot’s Hall, Washington Memorial Chapel, 2000 Valley Forge Park Rd (Route 23), King of Prussia, PA 19406 (Patriot’s Hall is on the same level as the Chapel and Bell, the entrance is between them.)

Meetings are free and open to the public.

The King of Prussia Historical Society sincerely thanks the Washington Memorial Chapel for hosting this event. Please support their Capital Campaign and restoration efforts. More information can be found at wmchapel.org.
