This photo is of the old clock and bell that resided at the courthouse in Winona for almost 80 years.  The clock was built in 1856 and bought by the city of Winona in 1903.  When the courthouse was demolished in 1976 the bell was sold to a business man in Green Bay, Wisconsin where it now sits atop an abandoned shopping mall.

The Winona Historical Preservation Commission is currently negotiating with the city of Green Bay to buy this bell back.  If interested you can request further information or send donations to 617 Middleton Road, Winona, Mississippi  38967.
