"Thank you for your interest in the collections of The Henry Ford {museum}
We do have a Bell, Cast by Joseph Warren Revere or Paul Revere III, 1820-1834, 29.1112.1, in our Martha-Mary Chapel in Greenfield Village. A reference image is available on our website.
Below is background research we have available from our records for your reference use:
The bell was purchased by the Universalist Society of Hingham, Massachusetts in 1834. It hung in the belfry of the Universalist Church from 1834-1929. In 1927 the Universalist Society dissolved and sold the building, including the bell to the local Lodge of Odd Fellows who sold it to one of their members who sold it to a junk man who in turn sold it to an antique dealer in Boston.
