Liberty Square is one of the themed lands at the Magic Kingdom and is located to the back left of Cinderella's Castle when entering the park. Liberty Square is themed after colonial America and has replicas of both the Liberty Bell and the Liberty Tree. The Liberty Bell Replica was cast from the mold of the actual Liberty Bell in 1989. Also in Liberty Square you will be able to see architectural representations of each of the original 13 colonies as well as the state flags of the original 13 states (and the American Flag) flying in the center of Liberty Square.
