🔔 | The iconic Liberty Bell replica is passing from BHS and will be stowed in Owego! Students from Binghamton North High School built the bell from wood, layer by layer, in Mr. Vanca's Shop class in the mid-70s.

Due to renovations in the area where the bell was displayed, it is being transferred to Owego where it will be on display at the Tioga County Courthouse! #BPatriotProud
