Palm Coast and the Palm Coast Historical Society have unveiled a new monument to the city's history at Long Creek Nature Preserve.
The monument is a marker that highlights significant findings in the area, dating back to the early 1800s, a city press release said. Palm Coast City Council and PCHS members attended a dedication ceremony for the marker on Oct. 18.
The marker celebrates the area's vibrant past while looking ahead to its future role as a cornerstone of the community’s outdoor lifestyle, the press release said.
"Recognizing these discoveries of our past, we are reminded of our duty to respect both nature’s beauty and our responsibility to preserve it for future generations," Mayor David Alfin said. "The preservation of this property is one of the best choices our city council has ever made."
Long Creek Nature Preserve is a 9.5-acre park located at 1050 Palm Harbor Parkway. Palm Coast and Flagler County partnered together in 2008 to preserve the site, allowing its historical narrative to remain part of the community's shared heritage, the press release said.
