The Nancy Brown Peace Carillon was funded during the Depression by the contributions of Detroit News advice columnist Nancy Brown's strong fan base. The bell tower is located on Belle Isle, Detroit's 982-acre city park in the center of the Detroit River. Its construction lasted from 1934-1940. The bell tower is dedicated to peace.
