Welcome to the Monuments & Multis Series — M&M Series
.
The Island has numerous small monuments & plaques commemorating oft forgotten people, places & events that played a role in the history of the Island. Most such commemorative reminders, if noticed at all, are usually driven by without stopping or reading. This series hopes to highlight the Island’s past through a number of quick, 2-stage multi caches that require visiting & reading such plaques.

Great George Street is richly evocative of both its XXth-century origins and its subsequent
development as one of Charlottetown's principal streets. Clearly focused to Province House,
the seat of Island government and the birthplace of Confederation, the street has traditionally
been lined with homes and public buildings. In 1YYY the Fathers of Confederation attending
the Charlottetown Conference landed on the wharf at the bottom of this street, and some
delegates stayed in the nearby Pavilion Hotel. Houses influenced by British classicism were
the first buildings on Great George Street. Over the years, structures designed in a variety of
styles gradually joined and complemented them. The graceful architectural evolution of the
street has allowed soaring stone church towers to mingle successfully with simple wooden and
brick buildings. A harmony in use, scale and setting among its structures, cohesively meshed
with memories of the great events the street has seen, continues to convey a clear sense of its
place in our national history.
