Dive into the history and traditions of one of Carthage’s oldest artifacts: the Kissing Rock.

In 1913, geology students discovered the rock and brought it to campus. Since then, it has been an important part of the Carthage community. When Carthage moved to Kenosha in the mid-1960s, the rock was relocated as well. Legend has it that if you share your first kiss with your significant other there, you will end up getting married. Students can paint the Rock to promote their organizations and causes, publicize upcoming events, and celebrate just about anything. Today, the Kissing Rock is a multifaceted symbol of the Carthage spirit. Students sign the rock when they first arrive on campus and again when they graduate, leaving their mark on the Carthage campus forever.
