Hilltop Country Church is located at 28608 John Wayne (Highway 64) Morrison, OK. This is a Baptist church and displayed in front of the church is the bell from their previous building.

It is mounted on a rock base atop two rock pillars. The yoke is imprinted with "American Eagle Foundry Co." and it is a No. 38 size. The bell is complete with its yoke and wheel.

NOTE: We found this interesting narrative on the page for Geocache GC5PN38 "For Whom The Bell Tolls M1": "This bell was on the First Baptist Church of Morrison when the church was by the school. When the church moved to the present location in the 80's the bell was moved also. The bell has been up in its present location in the last 6 months. One of the senior men said he would sure like to hear it ring before he passed, He remembered it from when he was a boy. When the bell was mounted in its new location, he rang it for the first time and would ring it each Sunday. He passed away in February 2015. The bell is still rung each Sunday, it has a great sound. This bell is from the American Bell Foundry of Northville Michigan. The original cost of the bell was likely $60.50 according to the company catalog..."
