Let Freedom Ring!
On April 14, the Arkansas Civil War Sesquicentennial Commission is asking churches, public buildings, educational institutions, and individuals around the state to ring bells 13 times at 1300 hours (1 p.m.) to celebrate passage of the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which abolished slavery. The Shiloh Museum of Ozark History will participate in the observance with a bell-ringing at the historic 1871 Shiloh Meeting Hall, one block north of the museum campus in downtown Springdale.
