On the evening of December 17, 2024, a crowd gathered in Lockhart to witness the unveiling of The Wellspring of Progress—a 54-foot monument honoring the discovery and pioneers that industrialized Texas and made America the #1 energy producer ahead of the World Wars. This is the largest monument in the greater Austin area, and it honors the grit and ambition that built Texas and America.
But this is just the beginning. The next project? Twice the size. Imagine a world where building monumental creations is the norm—where everyone contributes to the future with bold vision and optimism.
More Monuments now turns its sights to the next great tribute—Return to the Stars, inspired by the Saturn V rocket. This monument will celebrate the golden age of space exploration through the Apollo missions while looking ahead to the Artemis II and III missions that will return humanity to the Moon and beyond.
And we're just getting started. Future projects include:
- A monument to the SR-71 Blackbird, the fastest aircraft ever built.
- A tribute to the Transcontinental Railroad Golden Spike, symbolizing progress and connection.
These projects wouldn't exist without the support of our patrons and builders. Thank you to everyone who believed in this mission and helped make it a reality.
