Niewoehner Bell Tower The bell tower is located between a funeral home and a former church, now an embroidery shop. Bells will only be rung by the owner if a book about the bells is purchased (cost $5). Apparently visitors were ringing the bells at inconvenient times (late at night, during funerals, etc.).
There is a single bell on another "tower" a few feet to the right. [Sandy, 07/19/2010]
