Rochester, MN (KROC-AM News) - The Peace Fountain is back in place.

The City of Rochester issued a news release Friday afternoon announcing the reinstallation of the sculpture by Charles E. Gagnon that had been the centerpiece of the Peace Plaza in downtown Rochester since 1988. The fountain was removed last year for the remaking of the Peace Plaza as part of the DMC Heart of the City phase one project. While it was way, the sculpture was cleaned, refurbished, and installed on a new pedestal.

It's a favorite spot with a lot of memories for our town.
