This tablet was erected by the Box Hill City Council as a tribute to the pioneers of the Box Hill District.

This cairn is constructed from stone which formed part of the chimney in the house situated off Station Street near Shannon Street owned by Arundel Wright  who first settled in Box Hill in 1840.

The stone was presented to the Council by Mrs M.J. Luke In 1957.
