In honor of the 250th Anniversary of the US, @america250_pa invited PA artists to paint fiberglass replicas of the Liberty Bell. There is at least one in every PA county!
The Westmoreland County bell, titled: There’s MORE in Westmoreland, is located at the Westmoreland Museum of American Art, and was painted by Mandy Sirofchuck.
