This Lucky 7 is centered on the obelisk located in the old cemetery of the UEL Heritage Centre and Park in the village of Adolphustown, Ontario.
It commemorates the arrival of the first Loyalist settlers to this region. According to the website, "this is the site of the original landing of the first group of United Empire Loyalists, under Major Peter Vanalstine, which took place on June 16, 1784. The first loyalists were settled on the grounds in tents, and spent their early days here before moving to their new homes. The UEL Heritage Centre and Park is dedicated to the preservation of this important location, which included the first Loyalist Cemetery, established in 1784, and the oldest monument to the Loyalists in Canada, erected in 1884 for the Loyalist Centennial Celebrations.
The park was established as a family campground and day-use facility by the Province of Ontario in 1956 and has served as such since that time".
Adolphustown is a geographic area located in Greater Napanee, Ontario, Canada, on the Adolphus Reach of the Bay of Quinte in Lake Ontario. Adolphustown is now part of the town of Greater Napanee.
