Mission

The Liberty Bell Shrine Museum educates children, youth and adults about the brave and patriotic people who risked their lives in the cause of liberty; to inspire them to emulate those revolutionary patriots; and to promote faith and freedom symbolized by the Liberty Bell.

About

Pip the Mouse Program - This annual program draws thousands of children, parents and grandparents to see a historic holiday puppet show, using a fully restored stage and soundtrack from the original 1962 production popularized by the Hess Brothers' Department Store in downtown Allentown. While visiting for the holiday show, everyone also learns the history of the hiding of the Liberty Bell on site, as well as about Pennsylvania Dutch holiday traditions. Pip the Mouse then transforms into Pip 'the Colonial' Mouse the rest of the year, introducing children to our museum and its stories in annual events like the Fourth of July bell ringing ceremony as well as special events to teach Pip's Pals (children under 12) about life in the colonial era.
