This monument was erected to commemorate the surrender of Geronimo. It happened south of this spot but the road goes by here and look they've even put up a ramada with a table so you and the loved ones can have a picnic and discuss the official end of the Indian Wars.

It's on Highway 80 between Douglas, AZ and Rodeo, NM in a town called Apache. That's if you consider three buildings a town.

Those odd shaped stones that look like holes are metates (may TAH tays) that the Apache used to grind corn.

Comments:
So it's not intended as a phallic symbol then?
 
maybe. I know Geronimo took it up the exit at the hands of the white man.
 
You have an outstanding good and well structured site. I enjoyed browsing through it » » »
