The Meneely bell atop this tower helped guide the train ferries Chief Wawatam and Sainte Marie in foggy weather to the New York Central Railroad Dock in Mackinaw City.
The bell, cast in 1890 in Troy, N.Y., was in service until 1952 and weighs 1,500 pounds.

The Conkling Heritage Park Bell Tower, constructed in 2004, was designed as a replica of the fog bell tower at the Little Traverse Point Lighthouse in Harbor Springs, MI. The original bell tower, built in 1896, assisted pleasure boats transporting vacationers in and out of the harbor during foggy weather.
