Perry Monument 1968
Note the steps. This is before the moat was built, which is dry and littered today. My mother told me that she and her best friend used to sit on the steps and "solve the problems of the world."
If funds leftover from a War of 1812 centennial had been used to build a stadium, there might never have been Perry Memorial on Presque Isle State Park.
