This monument is located in Gulph Mills Township Park, on the south side of Longview Road, Upper Merion Township, Montgomery County. It was a gift to the Society by Joseph E.

In 1986 residential development of the land on which this great natural boulder had originally been placed required it relocation across Longview Road to the present site.
