This sign was erected by the Whatcom County Parks and Recreation Department and reads:
<p>Boundary Marker #1
On June 15, 1846 Great Britain and the United States of America established the 49th parallel as the border between the United States and Canada.
</p><p>This obelisk was made in Scotland and placed on this western point of the boundary in 1865 marking the longest undefended border in the world.
</p><p>The Monument and Park was restored by the Tsawwassen Boundary Bay Lions Club, the Point Roberts Senior Center, and the Whatcom County Parks and Recreation Staff.
</p>
This sign was placed here on June 15, 1996 marking 150 years of peaceful coexistence betws our two nations.
