In his article in 020730 MMDigest about J.C. Deagan Tubular Bell
Carillons, Mr. Ed Gaida states that Deagan built one installation
of 96 bells and one of 97 bells, and that the 97-bell carillon is
at The School of the Ozarks near Branson, Missouri, and that the
96-bell instrument is at the Stephen Foster Memorial in White
Springs, Florida.

The Stephen Foster Memorial was taken over by the state in the
1970s and is now called Stephen Foster Folk Culture Center State Park.
It has a 97-bell carillon.  I cannot speak for the School of the
Ozarks as to how many bells their carillon has, but here, in White
Springs, we house 97 bells: 3 stacks of 32 bells and an extra high G.
