Mantua Bell

The Mantua Township Historical Commission is also known for retrieving a piece of Mantua’s History.  The Commission wanted the bell retuned so it would be a part of the renovations on the Union St. School House.  The 119 year old, 350 pound bronze bell, which rang out more than a half-century atop the old Mantua Academy (Union St. School House) , was in Iowa.  A bell collector in Iowa had bought the bell from an elderly woman in Pennsylvania.  After restoring it himself, dismantling it, cleaning and sandblasting it, he wrote a letter to the Historical Commission in which he stated “the bell is in excellent condition and has beautiful detail and tone.”  After negotiating a price, the historical commission recovered the bell that you see above.
