Last week, Plymouth State celebrated the grand opening of the newly renovated Mary Lyon Hall. This beloved PSU landmark, known for its ivy covered brick and spacious front lawn, has been the favorite place for generations of Plymouth students.

Featured above is an undated picture of Mary Lyon from the Michael J. Spinelli, Jr. Archives and Special Collections. When do you think this picture was taken? Use the comment section below and take a guess!
