This marble obelisk was made in New York and it was brought around the horn by ship and erected here in 1851 to mark the southwestern corner of our nation and proclaim our friendship with Mexico. The large round slab on which it sits was clearly designed to allow one to walk around the monument. This would now not be easy, because of the fence, which was no doubt erected to further celebrate our friendship with Mexico. We all know that "good fences make good neighbors"!
