Join us for a brief dedication of the Virginia Liberty Tree at Historic Mount Vernon. This Liberty Tree is a clone of the original Maryland Liberty Tree that stood at Annapolis. In the 18th century colonists gathered under Liberty Trees to organize and protest against the British. The dedication takes place at 11:00 a.m. 11:15 a.m: A full-sized replica of the original Liberty Bell will be dedicated by Dr. Lillback of the Providence Forum. The bell was cast in the same London foundry as the original and has the same tone as the original bell. The replica Liberty Bell will be on display at Mount Vernon through July 4 and rung every hour.
The Liberty Tree dedication is free. The replica Liberty Bell dedication is included in admission.
