Historic Bells Historical Markers

Single bells have been used for signalling purposes for millennia (church bells, clock bells, fog bells, fire bells, plantation bells, school bells, etc.), and sets of bells have been used for musical purposes for almost as long (peals, carillons, chimes, etc.). This series includes all historic markers for which one or more bells are significant associated objects, even if they are not directly visible from the location of the marker.
