The Liberty Bell Museum is home to an exact replica copy of the Liberty Bell (that you can ring), replica Conestoga wagon (1/2 to 1/3 size), Wilmer Behler’s hand-painted mural telling the story of the hiding of the bells, Allentown’s own “liberty bell,” cast in 1769, Revolutionary War and Colonial America exhibits, and “Pip the Colonial Mouse.”
The Liberty Bell Museum is located in historic Zion’s Reformed United Church of Christ, Allentown, Pa, which is on the National Register of Historic Places. The site of the first church in Allentown, it was used as a refuge during Indian raids, a revolutionary war hospital, a gathering place for the reading of the Declaration of Independence, and more. This rich history is celebrated at commemorative services every February, May, July and September.
During the holidays we have a children's puppet show about Pip the Christmas Mouse who helps Santa finish his deliveries on Christmas Eve. This puppet show dates back to 1962 when it debuted at Hess's Department store. The stage is the original stage created by Dr. George Creegan out of Steubenville, OH.
