Description
The Carillons and the Court of 3 Stars is a really awesome spot! There is a large, round stone court. In the middle of the court are 3 large stars which are cut/stamped into the stone. These stars represent East, Middle and West Tennessee — better known as the 3 “Grand Divisions” of the state. The court is gorgeous by itself, but then it is partially surrounded by pillars with bell towers in them (otherwise known as Carillons). These Carillons are located on the east & west side of the court and they hold 95 bells in the towers. The bells represent the 95 different counties that make up Tennessee. The Carillons play Tennessee-themed songs at the top of the hour, every hour. There is also a 96th bell, but that one is located on the grounds of the State Capitol Building and represents the government answering to the people.
