Jefferson, Iowa, is celebrating its 150th anniversary this year, and the town's Bell Tower Festival, which runs from Friday to Sunday, is a big part of it.

Over the past 16 years, the foundation has given more than $21,000 to support the festival and the tower, including upgrades to the tower's lobby, apenny press, and shade structures, the Des Moines Register reports.
