Where was it located when you visited? Was there a plaque with it? It is currently on the Albuquerque fairgrounds, and I did not see the plaque there. The yoke has also been replaced.

Ailene, It was right inside the fairgrounds entrance when we visited in 2015. I do not recall seeing the plaque, nor did is it in any of the photos I have. A fellow bell hunter, Rick Brock, who visited in 2020 noted the bell is missing the original plaque and clapper and does not have a new plaque. It does seem to have been restored and looked to be in better shape in a 2023 photo I found online.
