This monument in the Rural Municipality of Elton was erected in 1956 in commemoration of the pioneers of the Creeford district who built at this site, in 1892, a stone building for Knox Presbyterian Church, designed by Portage la Prairie architect James A. MacDonald. Also on the site is a cairn commemorating Norman School No. 494.
