The Bell Tower is our full color magazine published 6 times a year. It has educational articles and pictures about bells, news of events, news about chapters and members. It’s a magazine worth having!
The American Bell Association was organized for educational and scientific purposes related to the collection, study, research, preservation, and restoration of all kinds of bells. We are a non-profit organization with hundreds of members located in the United States and other countries.

MEMBER BELLS
Some of our members have shared a favorite bell or two. We would enjoy sharing one that you have.
Send a picture (or two) and a short description to the Website Coordinator.
In May, the Heart of America Chapter met sharing bells they had gotten from Jane. Jane, a much loved ABA member, died suddenly in April.
“ABA on the national/international and chapter levels would resonate with everyone. Since my first meeting years ago I have been greatly blessed in so many ways, but most importantly by the wonderful people whom I have met and the special friendships that I treasure.”
