Victory Bell Monument

Mount Pleasant is home to Wasatch Academy, a Presbyterian boarding school founded in 1875 — an unusual thing in heavily Latter-day Saint Sanpete County, and one of the oldest continuously operating prep schools in the West. This Victory Bell, set up by students in 1946, belongs to the school's traditions rather than the town's pioneer story. Placed the year after the Second World War ended, it carries the double meaning a "victory bell" had on an American campus in 1946: school spirit and national relief, rung together.
