Text of plaque:
"The First Mennonite Sunday School to be established in America was in Waterloo County, in 1840, in the Wanner and Bechtel, now Preston, meetinghouses. In October, 1841, Der Deutsche Kanadier reported, "The Sunday School started last year and begun anew this year which has been held interchangeably in the Wanner and Bechtel Meetinghouses... is enjoying good progress. The number of children is increasing and amounted to seventy-five last Sunday."
The plaque was erected in 1963 by the Wanner Mennonite Church and Waterloo County Historical Society.
