You could ring it 46 times for the 46th President, or possibly 20 times for Jan. 20th, or 12 times just for a round number. Just don't ring it 7 times, because that's for funerals. I don't think there is a set number of rings for other occasions, but I might be wrong.

I'd ring it in the morning, I'd ring it in the evening....



Lucky you to possess such a wonderful family treasure!

Ring to your hearts content and then some

Invite your friends and neighbors over so they can ring too

Ringing it all day is fine. Your bell chimes for freedom and that’s a joyful noise. Give it a few pulls for me!

At some point after we installed an electric water pump, my grandfather took the bell down. My sister had it hanging in her yard for many years. After her death, I took custody of the bell.
