*This Giant Dutch Bell Tower Should Get More Attention.

It's so tall, but why is it so overshadowed by the Marine Corps Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery? Welcome to the Netherlands Carillon, a gift from The Netherlands to the United States in appreciation for our help during and after World War Two. If you're not sure exactly what a carillon is all about, then you've come to the right place. In this channel we explore events and places, both on and off the beaten path, in the Washington, DC Metropolitan Area (known locally as The DMV - DC, Maryland, Virginia). Get ready for festivals, parades, celebrations, memorials, iconic buildings, neighborhoods, museums, cemeteries, parks, etc. You will also get insight into what my job is like as a tour director/ tour guide for visiting school groups in relation to what is being covered in the videos. Every now and then there will be road trips to nearby spots such as Baltimore, Gettysburg, Annapolis, etc. Feel the energy with me as the DMV gears up for the United States Semiquincentennial/ America250 celebrations in 2026!
