Two Philadelphia park rangers recently sat down with StoryCorps to share memories of an unforgettable April Fools’ Day joke that took place three decades ago.
The rangers recounted details of the legendary prank that involved two famous American bells and has since become part of park service folklore.
The story, captured as part of StoryCorps’ ongoing oral history project, highlights the lighter moments that can occur even in the serious business of protecting America’s historic treasures.
