Our recent trip to Carillon Historical Park got me wanting to take a closer look at the Deeds Carillon itself. This grand structure stands at an impressive 151 feet tall and sports 57 working bells. As Mrs. Deeds' creepy robot informed us, the construction of the carillon was inspired by her own travels throughout Europe and a general love of music. Its construction was finished in 1942, but was later refurbished in 1988, converting it to a digitally controlled system. The area surrounding the carillon can be rented out for weddings and other such festivities, though pricing is not listed on their website. The Deeds Carillon was added to the National Register of Historical Places on 27 July 2005.
