HISTORIC PRESERVATION at Kaskaskia Bell State Historic Site.
Illinois preserves the Liberty Bell of the West in a purpose-built memorial near Kaskaskia’s relocated community. The bell, exhibits, monument, and maintained grounds survive, while Mississippi River flooding and channel changes destroyed or isolated much of the original colonial town landscape.
