The Frederick County History Bell
This bell was cast in Frederick on April 1 and 2, 2006, with public participation and great festivity. Frederick County "Honey Bee" participants in grades 3-5 helped cast the bell by passing ingots of metal to furnace workers to be melted.
While preparing the bell mold, artisans gave meticulous attention to the Frederick County seal. Next, nearly 500 pounds of metal were melted down and, after reaching 2200 degrees Fahrenheit, the lava-like fiery liquid was poured into the bell mold. |
