History of KACC
For over 100 years, Korean Americans have settled in Washington D.C, the capital of the United States of America. Unfortunately, despite the long history of settlements, no structures that represent Koreaโs proud culture exist.
Washington D.C is not only the capital of the United States, but it is also the world center of politics and cultures. Creating a unique identity of Korea here plants the beauty of the Korean culture in the United States and preserves the Korean culture and history for future generations of Korean Americans so that they can be proud of their roots. Moreover, this is a chance for this generationโs Korean Americans to share the beauty and wonders of our culture with mainstream American society with the purpose of establishing peace and harmony throughout communities.

For the first time in history, one of the most beautiful botanical gardens in Washington, D.C, which is not only the capital of the United States but also the worldโs political center, will hold the Korean Bell Garden. The Korean Bell Garden represents and shares the Korean culture and history, instilling identity and national pride in Korean American descendants living here in the United States. It is also a great cultural heritage that can be shared with other ethnic communities as an instrument of unity as well as symbol of exchanges and cooperation with all.
Also, 2010 marked the 60th anniversary of the unforgettable 6.25 Korean War that formed a friendship between Korea and United States. The completion of the Bell of Peace of Harmony celebrated and promoted everlasting peace and became a historical milestone to be commemorated always.

On the ninth day of June two thousand and seven, the undersigned gathered to recognize an agreement between the Korean American Cultural Committee (KACC) and the Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority (NVRPA) to develop the first Korean Bell Garden in a public garden in the United States of America.
This Korean Bell Garden is a key feature of Meadowlark Botanical Gardens and provides a place of beauty and reflection for the public to enjoy.
In Korea, bell pavilions are used to mark places of great significance. This bell pavilion and surrounding garden marks Meadowlark Botanical Gardens as one of the premier public gardens in the United States and provides a place of cultural identity for over 200,000 Korean Americans living in Northern Virginia.
We, the undersigned, bore witness to the new partnership and the significant contribution it represented.
In July 2006, the Northern Virginia Regional Park Authorities for the Korean Bell Garden awarded a site for the Korean Bell Garden to be built. On April 18, 2007, KACC (Chairperson Jeung Hwa Elmejjad-Yi) and NVRPA (Chairman Bill Dickinson) signed the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on the site that would become the Korean Bell Garden.
For this occasion, the Korean media as well as the American media, most notably the โWashington Postโ was present to share this news with mainstream American society and to document the memorable event.
Professor David Chung of Michigan University, who was responsible for the design concept of the Korean Bell Garden, was also present and revealed the design to the public.
On November 11, 2007, a public viewing of the concept design was held and in the following year, on November 29, 2008, the concept landscape of the Meadowlark Gardens with the Korean Bell Garden was revealed. On this day, KACC was able to achieve the second fundraising goal through the donations made by the Koreans in the Washington D.C Metropolitan Area who donated approximately.250,000 stocks($150,000)Through theNOVA(Northern Virginia Regional Park Authorities) generous donation of 4.5 acres that is the site of the Korean Bell Garden today, the KACC was able to build a traditional bell pavilion with the hopes of accomplishing these goals: to share our culture with America, be recognized as Korean-Americans, and inspire the 1.5~2nd generations to feel ownership of the Korean culture. In addition, through this historical work, the KACC hoped to share our Korean culture with Americans and to create and build a foundation of unity between all the nationalities represented in the U.S. If everyone were to come together as one mind and heart, it would symbolize not only the joint immigration history in the U.S. but also the great American symbol of multiracial harmony.
Upon completion, the KACC representing the Korean American community, agreed to donate the Korean Bell Garden to park authorities, who would then be responsible for maintenance and management.
Finally, the Korean Bell Garden lies on a total of 4.5 acres of land, of which 1.6 acres holds the representative Bell of Peace and Harmony in the bell belfry that shows the theme of longevity, which can be seen throughout the garden. In order to preserve the characteristics of a traditional Korean garden, traditional Korean lamps can be seen upon entering the garden through the front gates. Pass the entryway, theJejuHarubang(volcanicRock)can be seen, as well as the Harmony Hall, the Flower Wall, the Wall of the Ten Symbols of Longevity, and the beautiful Turtle Fountain. Then, pass the stone walkway stands the grand Bell of Peace and Harmony, the centerpiece and pride of the Korean Bell Garden. Throughout the entire Korean Bell Garden, traditional Korean plants, such as the Korean national flower, the Rose of Sharon, and pine trees, are planted to enliven the entire garden and to add authenticity of a Korean traditional park to the garden. Also added are stone benches to rest on after walks along the garden.
