Exploring Tellin's History and Culture

One of the special places in Tellin used to be the Bell and Carillon Museum. This museum was open from 1992 to 2013. It was located in an old building that used to be an inn for stagecoaches.

The Bell and Carillon Museum

The museum taught visitors all about bells. It showed the history of how bells are made, from the very beginning. You could learn about the secrets of bell-making and the hard work of the people who create them. These people are called bell-founders.

The museum also had a unique collection of weather vanes. These are devices that show which way the wind is blowing. There were also many different clocks on display. It was a fascinating place to learn about these old crafts.
