On June 28, 2023, America250PA dedicated its first bronze, permanent Semiquincentennial Bell at the Dennis Farm—a 200-year-old farm originally settled by the family of Prince Perkins, free African Americans who moved to Northeastern Pennsylvania from Connecticut in 1793, and later expanded by their descendants, the Dennis family. The America250PA Semiquincentennial Bells lift up the stories of communities that have been untold or
not widely known, yet shaped the Commonwealth’s history.
