We were pleased to be able to share the Bedford County Liberty Bell with all who gathered for the Schellsburg & Old Log Church Historical Society's Patriots Memorial ceremony today. It was a beautiful commemoration of those buried at the Old Log Church Cemetery who contributed to the American Revolutionary cause. Thank you to all involved in making this wonderful and thoughtful event possible!

Bedford County's Daughters of the American Revolution dedicating a Liberty Tree at the Schellsburg & Old Log Church Historical Society's Cemetery this weekend - the sentiment summed up in the Thomas Paine 1775 poem:

In a chariot of light from the regions of day,
The Goddess of Liberty came;
Ten thousand celestials directed the way,
And hither conducted the dame.

A fair budding branch from the gardens above,
Where millions with millions agree,
She brought in her hand as a pledge of her love,
And the plant she named Liberty Tree.

The celestial exotic struck deep in the ground,
Like a native it flourished and bore;
The fame of its fruit drew the nations around,
To seek out this peaceable shore.

Unmindful of names or distinction they came,
For freemen like brothers agree;
With one spirit endued, they one friendship pursued,
And their temple was Liberty Tree.

Beneath this fair tree, like the patriarchs of old,
Their bread in contentment they ate,
Unvexed with the troubles of silver and gold,
The cares of the grand and the great.

With timber and tar they Old England supplied,
And supported her power on the sea;
Her battles they fought, without getting a groat,
For the honor of Liberty Tree.

But hear, O ye swains, 'tis a tale most profane,
How all the tyrannical powers, Kings, Commons and Lords, are uniting amain,
To cut down this guardian of ours;
From the east to the west blow the trumpet to arms,
Through the land let the sound of it flee,
Let the far and the near, all unite with a cheer,
In defence of our Liberty Tree

🇺🇸 We Remember. We Honor. We Stand Together. Today, we pause to remember September 11, 2001 — the lives lost, the heroes who ran toward danger, the families forever changed, and the countless acts of courage and compassion that emerged from an unimaginable tragedy.

We also remember what happened in the days that followed. Americans came together. We checked on our neighbors. We thanked first responders. We flew our flags. We donated blood, offered help, shared meals, prayed together, and found strength in one another. Differences seemed smaller, and what united us felt greater than what divided us.

Twenty-five years later, and especially as we celebrate the 250th anniversary of the founding of our nation, perhaps one of the most meaningful ways we can honor those we lost is to remember that spirit of American resilience and togetherness.

May we choose kindness over division, service over self-interest, and community over conflict. May we remember that despite our differences, we are neighbors, friends, and fellow Americans — and we are STRONGER when we stand TOGETHER.

We will never forget the lives we lost; never forget the heroes; and never forget the unity that followed. 🇺🇸

We want to remind everyone about our upcoming Conversations & Commemorations event featuring Stephen Clark, Superintendent of the Flight 93 National Memorial. This Saturday, August 29th, at the Bedford County Historical Society at 1 PM.

As we approach the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001, we invite our community to join us as we remember and honor the lives lost on that tragic day and hear the story of the brave passengers and crew of United Flight 93.

This will be an important opportunity to reflect, remember, and ensure that the stories of those who made the ultimate sacrifice are never forgotten.
