The Museum of History in Granite is a museum in the town of Felicity, California. The museum exhibits monuments made from Missouri Red Granite. Each is 100 feet (30 m) long. Conceived as a historic record of humanity designed to last for four millennia, the Museum of History in Granite is a collection of over 900 large granite outdoor panels.[1] The museum was conceived and commissioned by Jacques-André Istel and its lead artist is Gene Britton.[2]
