The District No. 5 bell was cast at the Gould Mfg. Co. in Seneca Falls, New York in 1870 at a cost of $40, and it weighs 390 pounds. It was originally installed in 1875. During remodeling in 1964, the bell was removed from the building and sold to a local farmer. It was later sold to James Loop, who took it to his home in Wichita, Kansas. In 1996, Bill and Jean Hoffman purchased the bell and brought it back to its original site.
