Sing!
Oh yes, it sings. And it sings beautifully.
But the carillon bells produce a sound that does not admit to being captured for reproduction, and you'll hear none of it on these pages. You must come and hear it for yourself and draw your own conclusions beneath the swaying Spanish Moss.

And then there's the small matter of the sundial on the south side of the tower. A treasure, in and of itself.
