Tall trees dripping with Spanish moss frame the Stephen Foster Memorial Carillon, a 200-foot (61-meter) tower housing 97 tubular bells that play songs of the famous American composer every day at the Stephen Foster Folk Culture Center State Park in White Springs, Florida, USA. Among those tunes is "Old Folks At Home," more commonly known by the words of its first line, "Way Down Upon the Suwannee River." It is the official State Song of Florida. This American-made carillon has the largest set of tubular bells in the world and has been entertaining visitors to the park since 1957.
