This school bell hung in the belfrey of the historic Excelsior Public School from 1899-1962, before being lowered in 1962 because of weakened timbers, and mounted on granite outside the Excelsior Library in 1966. Before ringing as a school bell, it had seen use on paddle-wheel steamboats on the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers, as well as Lake Minnetonka in the 1880-1890's.
The school building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and is also waymarked, as WM3P7R - it can be logged at this link: (
