1. Stone College Building Marker
This lot is the original site of Jefferson College. In 1791, John Canon donated this lot to the Canonsburg Academy and Library Company, which in 1802 was chartered as Jefferson College. The college quickly outgrew the 2-story stone structure and moved to their new campus across the street in 1817. The borough bought the original stone college building in 1843 and tore it down to build a town hall.
In memory of Michael & Anna Kirr
