The Wilcox Historical Society removed the original bell of the historic Wilcox Female Institute from the basement of Camden Baptist Church, where it had been stored for at least 50 years and sent it to Ohio, where it will be professionally restored and tuned before returning to its original home in the bell tower of the Wilcox Female Institute.

Cindy and Todd talk about the bell in this segment of the Black Belt Newscast.
