STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep. You never know what you might find in a crowded garage. Amy Miller³ had a huge bell in Chino, Calif. - resembled the Liberty Bell without the crack. It was passed down through generations. And she finally did some research and found its connection to Paul Revere. The colonist⁴ who warned the British are coming had a foundry, and his son made the bell. It has now been returned to its original location, which means Miller has more space in her garage. It's MORNING EDITION.
