This is a very beautiful church that was first established in the year 1793. The current building was built in the year (etc.) and it has a bell from 1887.
I would like to extend my thanks to the friendly staff, as well as Ira Hartman, the one who allowed me access into the bell tower, as well as showing me the way up, and ringing the bell for me.

Nice! You should do more of these…I loved ceiling fans when I was little. Bells are neat for sure. I climbed my first bell tower not too long ago and loved every minute of it. It had a 2000 pounder from the 1850s with a sweet sound. A good video just like the way the Europeans do it🤣and I hope this becomes a thing here in the states too. Ceiling fans are nice but I mainly show interest in aviation, drones, cars, music, etc. and I can still recall a lot of fan brands and names to this day

Thanks! It’s funny you say that, because I was inspired from many KZfaqrs, who happen to film bells in Europe. They were the inspiration for me doing this in the states, because to be honest, we really don’t have many channels dedicated to bells.

Nice! I'm actually kind of jealous. The church next to my house unfortunately just uses pre-recorded songs that play at 12:00 P.M. and 6:00 P.M. every day, in addition from 9:50 to 10:00 A.M. on Sunday mornings. It's actually kind of annoying and it makes the dogs go crazy. However the church does have a nice vintage 52" NuTone Verandah deluxe ceiling fan in brass/white with stencil blades.

Unfortunately, this church didn’t have any fans, but with the next few churches I’m gonna be uploading, some of them did have some pretty cool fans!

@@tots16 Sweet! Can't wait to see them! One thing I didn't mention was that the church that currently stands next to my house replaced a church that burned down a long time ago, in the 1970s I think. The church that burned was larger and had an authentic bell system. When they were trying to modernize the bells and make them electronic, something went wrong with that (most likely some kind of electrical short) and I think that was what caused the fire.
