(KLZA)-- A new historical marker was recently unveiled at Peru State College.
The new marker, located between the A.V. Larson Building and the Little Red Schoolhouse replaces a marker erected in 1967 honoring Peru State College for 100 years of operation.
Peru State will be celebrating its 150th anniversary on June 20th, 2017. Sesquicentennial events are planned throughout 2017, including spring commencement, June 20th and homecoming.
Nebraska State College System President Stan Carpenter told the crowd, estimated at 100 persons that Peru State College and its sister schools play an important role in the development of Nebraska. He says Peru State has an equally important role to play in the next 150 years in Nebraska as well.
The history honors society, Phi Alphas Theta has undertaken the fundraising effort for the marker and continues to raise funds.
A murder mystery dinner entitled “Murder at the Deadwood Saloon” will be performed April 8th and 9th in the Jindra Fine Arts Building, with proceeds going toward the cost of the marker.
