	Pioneer Monument Obelisk (Montreal) The Pioneers' Monument Obelisk is a monument in Old Montreal. Overview The granite obelisk commemorates the founding of Fort Ville-Marie, later to become Montreal close to this spot on May 17, 1642. The monument was erected by the Société historique de Montréal to celebrate the city's 250th birthday. The obelisk is made from a block of granite that stands tall and is square at its base.

picture info	Pioneer Monument (San Francisco) The Pioneer Monument is a granite monument supporting bronze figures and reliefs created by Frank Happersberger and financed by the estate of James Lick. It is located on Fulton Street between Hyde and Larkin Streets in the Civic Center, of San Francisco, California, next to the San Francisco Public Library. It was dedicated on November 29, 1894.
