Bell Tower Tour Saturday

Visitors are invited to tour the Grace Church bell tower Saturday at 3 p.m. The church is located at Cleveland Avenue and East Seventh Street. Enter on the Cleveland Avenue tower side.

The Yale University Guild of Carilloneurs is scheduled to visit the renowned Pittis Carillon Saturday. Click here to learn more about the carillon.

As Plaintalker readers know, I am very fond of the carillon and the annual peach festival and carillon concert that the church hosts each year. Living just across the street, I have enjoyed many hours of listening to the bells, whether it is Saturday practice or Sunday hymns or special holiday music. This is a great cultural asset to Plainfield and it is well worth a visit to learn more about it. Thanks to Grace Church carilloneur Jeff Spelman for letting us know about Saturday's invitation.
