The Clock Tower

The Clock Tower

The Clock Tower was part of the orginal Macon County Courthouse Tower. It was built at its current site by The LBJ Conservation Center and the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture working together with the U.S. Forest Service Department of Labor in 1985.

The Renaissance Carillon System was given by the Harry Neal Family. It is in memory of Bobbie B. Neal and his wife and mother. They wanted this bell music to bring comfort to other people who have lost love ones.

The Franklin Garden Club plants the flowers around the tower and the waterfall.

The whole clock tower was conceived by Merle P. Dryman. Can provide newspaper article if interested.
