Hello everyone I was out in my yard cutting little trees down and I looked down and coming up out of the dirt was a metal or something.it say on the front and the back side Tampico 1875-1975 and then it talks about the first boat on the canal October 24,1907- water tower 1975-first elevator 1869-electric light plant 1897 and in the middle it say founded 1875. The back has a street a bank a tornado and it say centennial in the middle i am not sure of one of the pictures it hard to make out. So if any one has any info on to what this is i would like to know i cant seem to find any thing on the internet but i found this site when i was searching for it thanks to all the help.

My guess is that it is from the Centennial celebration back in 1975 in Tampico. It was quite a "fest." What you have mentioned are parts of the Tampico Time Line - you can view it on our web page: Tampico Time Line
