In front of the Christian church, a bronze plaque set in a unique stone pedestal pays tribute to Wilbur Chapman and relates a most unusual story of this 10-year-old boy and his pig, Pete. In 1913 Wilbur sold his prized pig to raise money for a leper colony. This news of one boy's generosity captured the public's fancy, and soon school children throughout the world began collecting money for this worthy cause. They saved their coins in, what else, little iron banks shaped like a black pig—created in memory of Pete. The 1880 brick home where Wilbur grew up is sometimes referred to as the Gingerbread House.
