Het Netherlands Carillon op de Arlington National Cemetery was een geschenk van het Nederlandse volk aan de Verenigde Staten in 1954. Een beiaard werd geschonken om de Verenigde Staten te bedanken voor de hulp gedurende en na de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Het stond eerst op een nabijgelegen plaats. De beiaard met 49 klokken werd in 1960 geïnstalleerd in de door J.W.C. Boks ontworpen toren. In 1995 werd ter gelegenheid van Bevrijdingsdag op 5 mei een vijftigste klok toegevoegd. Elke klok heeft een embleem die een bepaalde groep in de Nederlandse samenleving vertegenwoordigt. De kleinste klok vertegenwoordigt de jeugd van Nederland; de zwaarste klok weegt 5800 kg. De gedichten die op de klokken staan zijn van de dichter Ben van Eysselsteijn. De emblemen, randversieringen en belettering zijn van de Nederlandse kunstenaars Gerard van Remmen, Genia van der Grinten-Lücker en Louis Meijs. De klokkentoren is een open staalconstructie van 40 meter hoog en staat op een klein plein van kwartsiet. Twee bronzen leeuwen, ontworpen door de Nederlandse beeldhouwer Paul Koning, bewaken het plein. Rond de toren zijn duizenden tulpen aangeplant. De beiaard speelt op elk uur de melodie Westminsterslag.
