This small community of about 2,000 people created a planter at the end of the one block long downtown shopping district. As part of this planter, they included a small monitor, a device that was used to spray a powerful jet of water against gold-bearing layers of gravel to break it loose to be passed through sluices to remove and recover the gold.
The dedication plaque on the planter reads:
This planter dedicated to the people of
Colfax in honor of the 200th Birthday of
the United States of America
May 24th 1975
