From The New Hampshire Department of Historical Resources:

The Liberty Bell replica stands in front of the statues of Daniel Webster and John Hale, on the State House front lawn.

In 1950 the U.S. Department of the Treasury, with the financial aid of several American private companies, selected the Paccard Foundry, of Annency-le-Vieux, France, to cast fifty-five full-size replicas of the American Liberty Bell. The replica bells were shipped to all forty-eight American states, and to American territories and to Washington, D.C., as a part of the "Save For Your Independence" savings bond drive, held May 15 - July 4th, 1950.
