In memory of Peter Lassen, the pioneer who was killed by the Indians April 27, 1859, at 66 years of age.
On June 14, 1862, the local Masonic Lodge placed a ten-foot tall stone marker on Lassen’s grave. By the early 1900s, a portion of that monument had deteriorated. In 1917, after a year and half long campaign to raise funds, a new Lassen monument was erected next to the old one.
