Historic Jeffco

Index to Monuments and Memorials
  
Monuments, markers, and memorials of all sorts are tucked into hidden corners of Jefferson Co. and rarely remembered. This page is our attempt to give them some attention. Let us know your favorite and we'll get it on our list. Email jeffcohistory@gmail.com to tell us about monuments we're missing.

What is a Monument? There are probably many different ways to define this. For our purposes here, we plan to include those that consist of a stone structure accompanied by a plaque, usually of metal. Monuments generally commemorate people and events from our history. There will be exceptions along the way, no doubt...

For a more diverse look at markers, visit waymarking.com, which covers Colorado or any other state you'd like to check. Michael and Sandra, two of the good folks working on Colorado's pages, were the first to identify our Mystery Monument, and have a page dedicated to it at First Gold Strike. The Waymarking website is the place to go if you'd like to use your GPS unit to find these and other historic markers.
