Here stands one of the oldest pieces of earth known to man. The complex crystalline structure of this boulder shows that it is not a native of this region but is related to rocks in Canada far north of here. Thousands of years ago it was torn from its homeland by a huge sheet of slowly moving ice and carried many miles to the south. Finally, with numerous others of its kind, the glacier abandoned it in this section of Irondequoit. Here it remains - mute evidence of a by-gone glacial period and of the slowly changing character of our earth.
