Historical Augusta: State Capital's Liberty Bell Replica
Did you know that Maine has its very own version of the famed Liberty Bell? The city of Augusta is filled with history, and of course, serves as Maine's capital city. The Liberty Bell replica is located on the lawn of Maine's capitol building, which has a long, interesting history of its own.
When Maine became a state, the original Maine State House was located in Portland but was destroyed in a fire. The present State House, located in Augusta, was built in 1832, and after several renovations continues to serve as the State Capitol Building today. The Liberty Bell replica arrived two decades after the building was complete, and our real estate agents have all of the details on the history of this unique Augusta attraction.
