New setting, same location.
In the center of the marker is a circular motif, designed by Doris Birkland Beezley, of a rider superimposed upon a sun-like set of compass points, with the "De Anza Expedition 1775 1776" written above the rider.
Monument Dedication:
This monument was erected on this location where Lt. Colonel Juan Bautista de Anza made his overnight stop on the banks of the San Lorenzo Creek, 200 years ago on March 31, 1776.
This bicentennial year of our nation, we dedicate de Anza Campsite #98 – a park provided by the City of Hayward, as a fitting location for a time-capsule containing materials pertinent to centennial year 1976 City of Hayward. Hopefully, this time capsule will survive and be opened by our descendents on March 31, 2076.
Erected 1976 by City of Hayward, Hayward Centennial Committee and Portuguese Centennials Committee.
