The Museum of History in Granite is a museum in the town of
Felicity, California. The museum exhibits
monuments made from Missouri Red Granite. Each is 100 feet (30 m) long. Conceived as a historic record of humanity designed to last for four millennia, the Museum of History in Granite is a collection of over 900 large granite outdoor panels.[1] The museum was conceived and commissioned by
Jacques-André Istel and its lead artist is Gene Britton.[2]
Development has been underway for several decades with most of monuments completed. However the eight monuments of the "History of Humanity" are only 31% engraved.[2]
Subjects include the History of California, Dedicated in 2016. Smaller monuments include the Felicity Stone, a "
Rosetta Stone for the future" located at the center of the History of Humanity monuments.
