The Netherlands Carillon is a 127-foot (39-m) tall campanile housing a 53-bell carillon located in Arlington County, Virginia. The instrument and tower were given in the 1950s "From the People of the Netherlands to the People of the United States of America" to thank the United States for its contributions to the liberation of the Netherlands from Nazi Germany in 1945 and for its economic aid in the years after. The Netherlands Carillon is a historic property listed on the National Register of Historic Places as part of Arlington Ridge Park, which is part of the George Washington Memorial Parkway. It is owned and operated by the National Park Service. The carillon is situated on a ridge overlooking the Potomac River and Washington, DC, and it provides expansive views of the National Mall, West Potomac Park (its original, temporary location), and Arlington National Cemetery. Its adjacency to the Marine Corps War Memorial to the north and Arlington National Cemetery to the south draws 1.2 million visitors annually, including recreational visitors from Rosslyn's residential areas. Throughout the day, the carillon automatically plays the Westminster Quarters. On significant days of the year in Dutch and American culture, it plays automated concerts, and from June to August, the director-carillonist Edward Nassor hosts a concert series whereby visiting carillonists perform weekly concerts on the instrument. (en) Het Netherlands Carillon, geplaatst naast Arlington National Cemetery, was een geschenk van het Nederlandse volk aan de Verenigde Staten in 1954. De beiaard werd geschonken om de Verenigde Staten te bedanken voor de hulp gedurende de Tweede Wereldoorlog en de Marshallhulp die het ontving na die oorlog. Het plan om een carillon te geven werd bedacht door Govert Verheul, persvoorlichter van het Ministerie van Economische Zaken, die op het idee kwam toen twee wijnglazen tegen elkaar aanbotste tijdens de afwas eind 1951. Het eerste klokje van het carillon, dat de tekst bevatte "Ik kleinste / de reinste" en de naam Marijke, zou overhandigd worden door koningin Juliana aan president Truman op 4 april 1952, maar door een fout van de Nederlandse ambassade was het zoekgeraakt. Het carillon stond tussen 1954 en 1960 op West-Potomac Park in Washington D.C. omdat Nederland aanvankelijk niet genoeg geld had om naast de klokken ook een klokkentoren te geven. De beiaard met 49 klokken, werd vervaardigd door drie klokkengieterijen, Fa. Van Bergen uit Groningse Heiligerlee, Petit & Fritsen uit Aarle-Rixtel, en Eijsbouts uit Asten en werd in 1960 geïnstalleerd in de door J.W.C. Boks (architect te Rotterdam) ontworpen toren. In 1995 werd ter gelegenheid van Bevrijdingsdag op 5 mei een vijftigste klok toegevoegd die eerder dat jaar overhandigd was door premier Wim Kok aan president Bill Clinton. De beiaard speelt op elk uur de melodie Westminsterslag. Op bepaalde data wordt speciale muziek gespeeld: 5 mei (Bevrijdingsdag), 4 juli (Independence Day), 2 september (V-J Day) en Thanksgiving Day.
