A History of the Pocahontas Bell
The year 1907 marked the 300th anniversary of the English settlement at Jamestown, Virginia. To celebrate the occasion, a grand Jamestown Tercentennial Exposition was organized – one of a series of world’s fairs where states and nations gathered to showcase their brilliant arts and technological innovations. Such luminaries as U.S. President Teddy Roosevelt, author Mark Twain, and educator Booker T. Washington graced the eastern Virginia shores over the 7-month exposition.
