Bell kiosk framed up




The framing and roof structure are complete for the bell kiosk in the pedestrian plaza area near the new Visitor Center's front entrance.  The structure will house the Frederick County History Bell which was cast five years ago by the Verdin Company using the world's only travelling bell forge, at the NPS Historic Preservation Training Center workshop next door on Commerce Street, as part of Bell & History Day that year.  It will ring here exactly five years after it was cast, opening this year's Bell & History Day on April 2.
