Truman’s beautiful campus offers several locations for a quiet stroll or peaceful reflection, including:


  • The Sunken Garden, a serene area graced by wooden gazebos and seasonal landscaping. Due to the frequency of student weddings in the sunken garden, campus legend says that if a new couple has their first kiss at midnight on one of the garden benches, the couple will be married.


  • The Bell Wall, a row of large bells in a brick wall on the Quad, built and dedicated at the Centennial Celebration in 1967.  The historic bells were collected from abandoned churches, school houses and public buildings in northeast Missouri. Each bell was meant to represent the ideals of liberty, justice, religion, and education.


The Sunken Garden and Bell Wall can be found in the vicinity of the Kirk Memorial, listed on the Truman Campus Map.



Kirksville Labyrinth Center

The Kirksville Labyrinth Center is located on the southern portion of Patryla Park on top of a hill that overlooks Spur Pond.
