Bok Tower Gardens
In 1921, Edward W. Bok was spending the winter months in the residential mountain lake community located adjacent to one of the highest hills of Florida’s Lake Wales Ridge, 298 feet above sea level. He enjoyed taking evening walks to the top of “Iron Mountain,” among the virgin pines and sandhill scrub, to enjoy Florida’s dramatic sunsets and bird life. The idea came to him to preserve this hilltop and create a bird sanctuary – a place of beauty, serenity and peace.

In all the natural beauty of the Gardens, Bok believed something was
missing. Remembering the glorious sound of carillons in his native
Netherlands, he decided to build a beautiful Singing Tower as the focal
point of the Gardens which would be crowned by a large carillon.
