Gary and Donna Laudenslager have traveled to all 67 counties to visit America250PA’s Bells Across PA installations! 🔔✨🎨

Hear from them as they share their experience and hope to inspire others to do the same! ⬇️

Our journey to visit the America250PA Bells Across PA installations began in Montgomery County at Valley Forge Chapel on July 27, 2025. We completed our journey in Philadelphia County at Glen Foerd Conservation Corporation on September 3, 2026, having visited all 67 counties.

Two bells that particularly stood out to us were the mosaic bell in Westmoreland County and the bell featuring flowers placed on Presidential china and fireworks in Lawrence County. We especially liked the bells with wooden hanging mounts and those with a heavy, clear coating. We appreciate all the hard work that went into this project. It was clear that, for many artists, creating their bell was a true labor of love.

We expected Bells Across PA to take us to destinations throughout Pennsylvania, and it certainly did. Because we live in the Lehigh Valley, we planned several short trips, visiting the counties in geographic sections. Along the way, we met many wonderful people and even had the opportunity to meet the artist who created one of the bells.

We are grateful to have had this opportunity and to have experienced such a memorable journey across Pennsylvania. Why travel to other states when there is so much to see and do right here in Pennsylvania?

🛣️ If you have also traveled to visit our Bells Across PA installations, send us a message for a chance to be featured!

Artist spotlight. Currently on display at the Art of Healing is Holly Jo Wood, Painter. Come and see her art displayed at the main lobby of ACMH Hospital daily during the hospital working hours.

Holly Jo Wood:
Growing up in rural western Pennsylvania, I developed an early love for nature, beauty, and the quiet wonders of the world around me. Today, my paintings are deeply influenced by the Tonalists and explore intimate encounters with creation through silence, light, and beauty. My Christian faith is at the heart of everything I do, shaping both my life and my work.

Artist spotlight. Currently on display at the Art of Healing is Beverly Melara, photographer. Come and see her art displayed at the main lobby of ACMH Hospital daily during the working hours.

Beverly Melara:
“The journey to The Midsummer Reverie started in a high school dark room where I realized that capturing life and emotions through imagery is how my soul processes life. I am a full time photographer and I capture weddings with a nostalgic sparkle, bo***ir for empowering women through self appreciation, creative portraits to process experiences and the evolution of our inner selves. I blend portraiture and street photography in a way that evokes main character energy from passing moments. Balanced color, symmetry, and texture to create fine art that draws you in. I hope my work invites you to linger on the small moments and take a second look around you.”
