My community project

This bell belonged to the "Main Street School" here in our little town and was built in 1903 and torn down in 1969-70.
it was then placed in the front yard of the last school building in town until it closed last year.
The school board decided to take the bell to the high school in another town and that didn't sit well with me so I reached out to them AND the public to express their dislike of ,not only our school being closed but our relic being taken to someplace that it would get lost and forgotten and be unappreciated!
So they contacted me back and told me if I could find a good home for it,they would return it.I tried to buy but...lol
I decided the safest place would be our beautiful Carnegie public library,and after meeting with their board it was all set!
I was able to get the excavation for the new foundation and the cost of the concrete donated from awesome people in our area but I (along with my dad) poured the concrete,restored the bell and plaque and placed it BACK ON MAIN STREET ! for all alumni to appreciate.
