Before the white man came to this area Indians of the Chippewa, Winnebago and other tribes roamed freely along the Mississippi River. Recorded history tells of an Indian tribal battle that took place on these river banks which was witnessed by some of the earliest settlers who first came here in 1839. Adventurous pioneers, never less, continued to arrive in greater numbers bringing farming, river commerce and small industries to this wilderness site, and soon the community of Fountain City was established. Throughout the years local residents have found many stone artifacts and other remnants that bear witness to the earlier cultures, which vanished as the new city grew along the Mississippi River.

Erected in 1985
