From NASA: "Liftoff of MR-4 (Mercury-Redstone), Liberty Bell 7, on July 21, 1961. MR-4 mission was the second manned suborbital flight and carried Astronaut Virgil Grissom aboard the Liberty Bell 7 spacecraft in space for a duration of 15-1/2 minutes."
From The National Air and Space Museum: "Today Liberty Bell 7 is in a special display case at the Cosmosphere in Hutchinson, Kansas, the only Mercury, Gemini, or Apollo spacecraft flown by astronauts that the National Air and Space Museum does not own. In a deal to facilitate the capsule’s recovery and conservation, the Museum and NASA voluntarily gave title to the Cosmosphere, which is a Smithsonian Affiliate with extensive experience conserving early U.S. human spacecraft. We have often worked closely with our Kansas colleagues on such projects. If you are ever in the middle of America, it is well worth visiting Liberty Bell 7, a silent witness to the second U.S. human spaceflight, and the first one that was nearly fatal."
