donvg on September 2, 2025

The Mahanay Bell Tower will continue to be open daily during the month of October from 10 am – 4 pm. Youth 18 & under will enjoy free admission courtesy of Jefferson Family Dentistry and Jefferson Dental Care.

Traveling in October to see the changing rural landscape is very popular. The Lincoln Highway is also a draw to many visitors who like to stop at the Tower to experience the bells and the view.

The dedication of the Mahanay Bell Tower took place 59 years ago on October 16, 1966.

Special tours can be arranged by calling the Jefferson Matters office at 515-386-2155.

With the elevator back up and running at the Mahanay Memorial Carillon Tower in Jefferson, people can now experience the full capabilities overlooking Greene County from the Paul Nally Observation Deck. 

Jefferson Matters Executive Director Matt Wetrich says youth can also ride to the top of the Bell Tower for free because of the generosity of Jefferson Family Dentistry and Jefferson Dental Care.

“Thanks to both of our local dentist offices for co-sponsoring getting our kiddos up in the tower as many times as they want this year.”

Wetrich adds that adult admissions are $5 to also go up to see all of the amazing sights of the county from a height of 128 feet. The Bell Tower is open daily from 10am-4pm.
