Liberty Bell

The Liberty Bell is an historic large bell located in Philadelphia. Copies of it are distributed among the former United States.

Background
Originally located in the steeple of the Pennsylvania State House, the Liberty Bell was used to call legislators to sessions and alert the public. It became a symbol in the early 19th century, when it was adopted as a symbol of freedom and independence by abolitionist societies, dubbed the Liberty Bell. It rapidly became a symbol of American independence and of the city of Pennsylvania itself, enduring into the 21st century.

In 1950, a replica of the Liberty Bell was presented to West Virginia. It was displayed in every part of the state between May 15 and July 4 for the United States Savings Bonds Independence Drive, before it came to rest in front of the Charleston Capitol Building, where it remained until the Great War. Although the postument it was displayed on was severely damaged along with the rest of the city in the Christmas Flood of 2082, the bell itself survived the destruction and remained there as late as 2103.

Abraham Washington bumped into a traveler sometime in 2277 who showed him a fragment of what he claimed was the Liberty Bell. It was apparently still intact and laying in Philly's ruins. He began funding an expedition there in hopes of having it brought back in its entirety to be displayed at the Capitol Preservation Society.

Appearances
The Liberty Bell is mentioned in Fallout 3 and Fallout 76.
