Serving the Platte Valley since 1888
The monument that held the plaque is located in the parking lot of the old Hanna Elementary School. When the plaque was dedicated on July 4, 1920, it was in a field. The time capsule that was located inside the monument was undisturbed.
The World War I memorial plaque that had been missing from Hanna for several weeks has been found. While townspeople are excited and relieved to have the relic returned, the investigation to find the thieves continues.
A public works employee was mowing the lawn on the east side of Hanna junction when he saw the plaque on the side of the road. Originally, he thought it was rubber.
