Matt is joined by Molly Cunningham, the Bell Tower’s Tour Coordinator, and Peg Raney, President of the Bell Tower Community Foundation, to talk about what makes the Bell Tower such an important part of Jefferson’s identity, why people continue visiting year after year, and what guests can expect during the busy summer season.
