Netherlands Carillon | Bell Tower and Garden in Arlington

This simple dedication on the Netherlands Carillon expresses the gratitude of the Dutch people for American aid received during and after World War II. The carillon itself symbolizes a friendship between the people of two countries, a friendship so rooted in a common allegiance to the principles of freedom, justice, and democracy that it can weather any temporary differences of opinion. The grounds of the Netherlands Carillon offer sweeping views of Washington, DC. In temperate weather the grassy slope and large shade trees form a perfect picnic spot. Planted on the surrounding grounds are thousands of flowers, including tulip bulbs in the springtime. Reminders:<ul><li>The carillon is a memorial. Playing ball games and flying kites are not permitted</li><li>Pets must be on a leash that is no more than six feet long and pet owners must dispose of waste in a trash can.</li><li>Commercial activities and activities by organized groups, including commercial photography/filming and weddings, require a permit. For information about permits please call 703-289-2513.</li></ul>Image Credits: ID <a href="https://www.dreamstime.com/netherlands-carillon-flowers-wide-angle-photo-fields-red-tulips-front-image246472803">246472803</a> © <a href="https://www.dreamstime.com/eliwilson1804_info">Eli Wilson</a> | <a href="https://www.dreamstime.com/">Dreamstime.com</a>
