Arthur J. Crosby donated a 25-bell van Bergen carillon in memory of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Harry B. Crosby. The carillon was dedicated on October 4, 1959 by Harmannus H. van Bergen.
The church closed in 1985 and the carillon was sold to Middlebury College. The former church building has been converted to apartments.
