In honor of celebrating Constitution Week, the Mayor of Starkville has signed this proclamation. The week begins on Sept 17 with the nationwide bell ringing at 3:00 pm (Central time). Bells Across America symbolizes the church bells that rang in Philadelphia when the U.S. Constitution was first signed. The bells will ring for 1 minute at that time on that date! Join us.

Constitution Week is celebrated annually during the week of September 17-23 to commemorate its history, importance, and bring attention to how it serves still today.

Bells Across America is an annual celebration of the signing of the U.S. Constitution.
Participants gather to ring bells, much as the church bells of Philadelphia rang out when the U.S. Constitution was first signed at 4 pm on September 17, 1787.

We are asking organizations, churches and citizens to ring bells on September 17th for 1 minute at 4:00 EDT (3:00 Central!) to herald the beginning of this commemorative week.
