The first monument commemorating the arrival of the Mormon pioneers into the Salt Lake Valley was a wooden cross. The eight-foot post carried the name “Brigham Young,” and the crosspiece said “This is the place.” In 1921, the wooden cross was replaced with the obelisk monument. At this spot, Brigham Young, in viewing the valley, made the statement, “This is the right place. Drive on.”
