Two plaques are on this monument:
Upper Marker:
Weaverville
This town was created in 1850 by the early miners, merchants, craftsmen and worshippers as the gold mining and commercial center of the area. Here they built of brick, earth and wood the examples of white and Chinese culture that you now see. It survived numerous conflagrations and depressions to be honored in the National Register of Historic Places in 1971 as a community of unusual historic significance relating to the gold rush period.
