Standing Stone
In the early 1800’s, travelers upon the old historic Walton Road, were mystified by a large stone which stood along side the old road.
It was believed to have been erected by Indians at some remote date. Because of the intriguing landmark, the first settlers to the area named the area “Standing Stone”, later to be called Monterey. What remains of the monolith is preserved in a park on the eastern edge of Monterey near the Monterey town library.
