The Bell House (Named after Gen. Franklin Bell) an interesting place to visit with equally rich facts for about a 100 years of history nestled inside Camp John Hay and was currently maintained by JHMC. In early times it has been used as a vacation residence of commanding general but it was transformed into a museum.
A classic american house, exudes simplicity yet elegant ambiance from the inside. It has this big windows and 2 paneled doors allows the fresh air from above to circulate within the house. The interiors where a combination of American and Filipino - Igorot classic pieces and antique. With Artworks and painting hanging on the wall. The woods, a fireplace and a chimney at the living room area exudes sophistication and elegance at the same time.
Feast you eyes with some of the intricate interiors and pieces from inside the house and be amazed how the staff was able to maintain its cleanliness and orderliness.
From the veranda you'll see a manicured landscape garden named the AMPHITHEATER because of its shape.
We skipped going to the garden because we were so tired going up and down the stairs so we observe the nature from the veranda. We tried to find the way to the secret garden though but we failed to find it, maybe that is the reason why it is called a "SECRET GARDEN" lol...

Visiting Historical core such Ce,etery of Negativism and Bell House inside the camp requires you to pay P 60.00 per person but it is all worth it.
