What’s a Carillon??

View Flyer

A carillon is a set of stationary bells hung in a tower and sounded by manual or pedal action, or by machinery. (Dictionary website)

You probably heard our carillon play on Sundays at noon or other times throughout the week as you are outside or driving in the area. Our carillon is actually a computer type “box” that is in the room directly opposite the choir room where the organ pipes are (directly behind the chancel area).

The Sept. 23, 1929, marriage in Plainville of Florence Trumbull, the daughter of then-Gov. John H. Trumbull and John Coolidge, son of former President Calvin Coolidge, was easily the biggest local event in the past 100 years, ac­cording to Town Historian Ruth S. Hummel.
Hummel, who also served until May as presi­dent of the Plainville Historical Society, has written several articles about the Trumbull­Coolidge wedding, which united the families of the Connecticut chief executive and the 30th U.S. president.
