This monument honors the three men, Peter Wright, Wright Brothers, and Balaam Allen (and their wives) who were the first settlers in the City of Crane Creek. As freed men, they supported the establishment of the area by becoming the first sailing mailman (Peter Wright), the first farmer (Wright Brothers), and the first preacher of the first church the Greater Allen Chapel AME Church (Ballam Allen). The proposed monument honors these men by acknowledging both their existence and contributions to the founding of what is now called the City of Melbourne Florida.

Thank you to those who have given
To all of those who have demonstrated both their belief in the importance of this project and given financially to help ensure that our goals are realized words cannot adequately express our gratitude. But we say 'thank you' nonetheless!
