This “Liberty Pole” is one of hundreds erected in America as a place to post political news and as a symbol of the colonials’ resistance to British tyranny. Historical records indicated these poles existed across America, especially in MA, PA, NJ, NY and George. The Sons of Liberty erected the first on May 21, 1776.
