Description
The stone entrance marker at the University of Pittsburgh-Johnstown. Established in 1927, University of Pittsburgh-Johnstown was formerly located in downtown Johnstown. The current campus site in the Johnstown suburb of Richland Township, which was donated by Wilmore Coal Co., was originally a pioneer homestead farm. Local public fundraising campaigns held during the 1960s raised nearly $1.5 million towards the campus' construction. Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower attended the September 26, 1967, dedication ceremony for the campus. The stone entrance marker was a gift from the UPJ faculty on the occasion of the campus' dedication.
