Luray Singing Tower
The Luray Singing Tower, officially known as the Belle Brown Northcott Memorial, was erected in 1937 in memory of Colonel T.C. Northcott’s wife.
At 117 feet in height the Luray Singing Tower contains a carillon of 47 bells. The largest bell weighs 7,640 pounds and is six feet in diameter. The smallest weighs a mere 12 1/2 pounds.
I visited late one Sabbath afternoon when the sun was slanting down across the horizon. It's such a peaceful place to be and has a small walking path all around the pond. They hold recitals here every weekend through Oct, but I haven't managed to drag Anita there yet. I have heard them before and they are Amazing! :) Heading to Roanoke VA and church today. Have a blessed Sabbath everyone!
