Monument to a Horse
This conical pile of stones sits just inside the main entrance to Mason Point.  Robert Miller donated the 264 acres to the Masons for the original Masonic Home.  He made his fortune out in the real Wild West, and his horse carried him to California and back during the Gold Rush of the 1840s. It is probably the only American horse that made the round trip, and this is the horse’s burial site.  It may also be the only monument to a horse in Moultrie County.
