Down the street, around the corner, just over there stands a cairn topped by an antique hand plough that remembers the pioneers who came and opened the area around Minnedosa to settlement by the Europeans. The cairn is tucked not far from the Library, and is generally overlooked by most residents and vistors to Minnedosa.But those who take the time to glance at the cairn for more than a passing moment, will notice that the piled stones assembled to remember the newcomers who arrived around the turn of the 20th Century, also contains reminders that those folks were NOT the first people on the land they would call home.
Look closely at the picture above and find the three modified stones that were used as mallets by some of the "pre-historic" people who once inhabited this place.
