1. Carlisle School Buildings Memorial Marker
Construction of the bell memorial was completed using bricks from the new building as well as several bricks from the original Chamberlain building. The original 1874 bell has been restored again in 2023. The brick monument on which the bell is placed contains building stones from former buildings and the 1930 cornerstone, which also contains a time capsule inside the stone. The 2023 stone contains a time capsule from the district's 2023 students.
The benches around the memorial are pieces of limestone from the original building built on this site. Carlisle Local Schools would like to thank all the individuals involved in the creation of this memorial. Special thanks to SHP for designing the memorial.
Erected 2023.
