Featuring crossed wagon wheels and surrounded by plowshares this cairn is also adorned with the names of other Mennonite communities. On the cemetery wall a few steps away is a plaque:
While not as apparent today, the Vineland and Jordan areas were heavily populated and farmed by Mennonite settlers and have strong religious ties established as well. This monument, the wooden plaques, field stones and all of the information at the site make for a very enriching experience.
