The pyramid houses the official center point / home of the Museum of History in Granite at Center of the World Plaza in Felicity CA

A unique attraction of the town of Felicity, California is the Museum of History in Granite. The museum exhibits monuments made from Missouri Red Granite. Each is 100 feet (30 m) long. Conceived as an historic record of humanity designed to last for the millenia, the Museum of History in Granite is a collection of over 400 giant granite outdoor panels.[1]

Development has been underway for several decades with many of the granite panels installed, but the total engraving work is only about 25% complete.[2]

Subjects include the history of California, which is being edited.[3] Smaller monuments include the Felicity Stone (sm), a Rosetta Stone for the future located at the center of the History of Humanity monuments. The Museum of History in Granite is a candidate for status as a World Heritage Site.[4] In 2016 the museum will dedicate a granite monument for the history of California.
