Kaskaskia Bell State Memorial is a monument located in Kaskaskia, Illinois containing the Kaskaskia Bell, also known as "The Liberty Bell of the West," a gift from King Louis XV of France to the Catholic Church of New France.

After George Rogers Clark took Kaskaskia from the British on July 4, 1778, the bell was rung in celebration.

Recently, an audio program has been added sharing the history of the bell with visitors.

[2] As a result, the bell can no longer be rung, although Independence Day ceremonies are still held.
