Kissing Rock
Discovered in the early 1920s during the construction of the Quad, the Kissing Rock comes from JMU’s early years as an all-women’s school. Students were not allowed to be in the presence of young men without a chaperone, so legend has it that the girls hid behind the rock to kiss their fellas. Legend also has it that whoever you kiss at the Kissing Rock is the person you will marry!
