In 1976, 50 replicas were
cast and molded in honor of our country’s 200th birthday. Each state
would receive one and place it in a spot of their choice. However, the
state of Pennsylvania had a problem. They already had the original
Liberty Bell in Philadelphia. Why would they want a replica? Years
later, Walt Disney World realized Pennsylvania had the replica and asked if
they could have it for Liberty Square.

Pennsylvania agreed and on July 4th, 1989 the replica Liberty
Bell was hoisted and lowered into its permanent spot inside Liberty Square at
the Magic Kingdom where it still sits today. Florida remains the only
state with two of the 50 replica Liberty Bells.
