Courthouse Lampposts and Courthouse Bell

The courthouse lampposts, original from 1816, were presented by John E. and Marie Bowman Wengert in memory of their fathers, respectively. Samuel K. Wengert served as a Lebanon County Commissioner from 1948-52, and Roy M. Bowman served as Lebanon City Solicitor from 1922-34 and 1936-48. The courthouse bell, also an 1816 original, was presented by the membership of the Lebanon Hook and Ladder Company #1. Following a fire at the courthouse in 1908, the bell was placed in use at the Hook and Ladder Station from 1911 through the 1960’s.
