[edit] History

Honor America Inc. founded the Liberty Bell Memorial Museum and used a former concrete ground water storage tank and pump house of the original Melbourne Water Works to house the museum.[2] Architect Joe Vislay designed the water storage tank and pump house and contractor Robert Stitzel built it.[2] Honor America Inc. expanded the museum in 2003 by building an additional wing to the existing facility.
