Historic bell outside Sault museum tagged with graffiti

EDITOR'S NOTE: A version of this article originally appeared on SooToday on July 4. It is being republished here for readers who may have missed it.

The bell sat in storage for years before the museum collaborated with the Municipal Heritage Committee during the pandemic to proudly display the artifact on the museum’s front lawn. “I know it’s placed in a public space, but if you look at tons of other Ontario cities, they do similar things with that. It looks really nice out front and it’s the perfect place for it, especially when we’re telling people about the history of the museum.”

“Currently, we’re trying to go through certain conservation standards set out by the government and various museum organizations to see what kind of solvents might work in that regard.”
