Pennsylvania: Three Men and a Bell

On September 16, 1777, three men — a sociable young Mennonite farmer, a seasoned old doorman of poor health, and an injured African-American carpenter — were given the grand task of hiding a uniquely symbolic ... bell. This bell, which would one day be called the “Liberty Bell,” was big, heavy, and currently at the top of the Pennsylvania statehouse — and they had three days to get it out of town.
