The Justice Bell arrived in Meadville, PA on June 30,1915 as reported in The Daily Times. The bell was due in Beaver Falls and Ambridge on July 3rd.

Our colleagues at the Crawford County Historical Association will commemorate the 1915 Justice Bell tour with programs in Titusville & Meadville on September 11 & 12, 2026, respectively.

Just like in 1915, if you wait a few more days, you can celebrate the tour here in Beaver County with our guest speaker & author Amanda Owen on September 16, 2026, at 7:00 PM in the Beaver Station.

See you there!
