This geocache is actually located inside the Tidal Power Visitor Information Centre on the second floor. Permission has been given and all employees are aware of its existence. Unfortunately, it can not be accessed year round and can only be found between 10 to 6 daily May to October. The Monument is dedicated to the families that settled the area from 1774 to 1776. In the early 1770s settlers from Yorkshire, England crossed the Atlantic Ocean to seek a better life in Nova Scotia. Beginning in 1774, a number of these families settled in the townships of Annapolis and Granville. Four ships in particular the Thomas & William, the Port George, the Jenny, and the Two Friends. All Around for Halifax carried passengers who settled in Annapolis County. The Yorkshire Families who settled here are Bath, Clark, Gieliate, Halliday, Hawksworth, Hudson, Jacques, Jefferson, Mills, Milner, Oliver, Robinson, and Wilson.
