Carillon Tower (White Springs)


Plays Stephen Foster songs hourly. The bottom floor is open to the public and includes displays relating to Stephen Foster. You can also view the timer that runs the carillon.

The tower is beautiful, and the technical details of the construction of the carillon are fascinating. Unfortunately, the music sounds awful. It sounds like some of the tubes up there in the tower aren't mounted correctly so they rattle and buzz rather than ring. And it sounds like some of the hammers that ring the chimes have a delay to them and ring a bit later than they should, really messing up the harmonizing.
