About Museum of History in Granite

Set in the desert town of Felicity, this outdoor museum displays granite monuments and hundreds of engraved panels that record events, cultures, and ideas from across human history. Visitors can walk among the monuments, explore the Maze of Honor, and see replicas and artifacts such as a section of the Eiffel Tower stairs and a half-scale Liberty Bell. The project was conceived by Jacques-Andre Istel and is meant to last for millennia. Seasonal guided tours run in the cooler months, and the grounds are open daily with set hours.
