[PW] exhibition of national artifacts

[Sue Kamm]

I'd try two places:  Independence National Park (I visited the Liberty Bell
when I was in Philadelphia for Midwinter but I don't remember anything
about its traveling.)  Boston PL might have information on it.  (I can't
get on the web :( or I'd give you the URLs.)

history webpage--an image of an item in our special collections plus a
little text about it. The item in question is a photo of the Liberty Bell
during its June 1903 visit to the Boston area. I would like to comment on
the public tours and exhibitions of national artifacts pre-World War I. As
insane as it seems to us now, I am getting the impression that it was a
quite common practice, especially in the nation's earliest days, and I
would like to know a little bit more about it.
