A distinctive new bell sculpture was officially unveiled at Hershey's Chocolate World today, marking a significant addition to Pennsylvania's statewide celebration of America's upcoming 250th anniversary. The ceremonial unveiling was conducted by America 250 PA, the official organization coordinating the state's participation in the national milestone celebration, with full sponsorship provided by The Hershey Company.
The newly installed sculpture is part of the ambitious "Bells Across PA" initiative, a comprehensive artistic program that brings together talented artists, dedicated community partners, and engaged civic organizations from across the Commonwealth. This collaborative effort focuses on creating unique, one-of-a-kind designs for fiberglass bell sculptures that will serve as lasting monuments to American independence and Pennsylvania's crucial role in the nation's founding.
The bell sculpture at Hershey's Chocolate World represents just one component of a much larger artistic endeavor that will span the entire state. According to the initiative's plans, there will be at least one specially designed bell sculpture placed in each of Pennsylvania's 67 counties, ensuring that communities throughout the state can participate in and witness this historic commemoration.
This statewide artistic project not only celebrates America's revolutionary heritage but also showcases the creative talents and community spirit that continue to define Pennsylvania today. The placement of the bell at Hershey's Chocolate World, one of the state's most popular tourist destinations, ensures that visitors from across the nation and around the world will have the opportunity to experience this unique tribute to American independence.
