This microcache is located near the Bluemont Bell.
Bluemont Hall, completed in 1981, was named after the original
Bluemont College. It houses the College of Education facilities.
Older than all of the other buildings on campus, the Bluemont
Bell was cast and donated to Bluemont College by Joseph Ingalls in
1861. According to documents from the University archives, Bluemont
Central College, originally located one mile west of K-State Campus
was in need of a bell to call the students to class. Ingalls
provided the $175 for the bell and shipping in exchange for having
his name engraved on the side. The bell now stands in front of
Bluemont Hall, a part of the rich K-State heritage.
