A porcelain bell, hand painted and decorated by Carol Oliver of Delphi, pictured, will hang on the Indiana State Museum's first-ever 92-county tree. The 10-inch tall bell depicts Carroll County with hand painted images of the Lancaster Covered Bridge, Burnett's Creek Arch and Adams Mill. The Carroll County Historical Museum asked Oliver, a museum worker and local artist, to make the ornament. Oliver and her family will attend a ceremony honoring the ornament artists in the Dean and Barbara White Auditorium at the museum on opening day of the tree exhibit, Nov. 28. A booklet with photographs of the ornaments and designating the position of the ornaments on the tree will be available to people visiting the museum during the holidays.
