After a $6-million restoration, the Pioneer Memorial and its waterfall will be formally rededicated.
The cascade that once gushed over the face of downtown’s Ft. Moore Hill, then went dry for decades, has been quietly test-run for a few weeks— its volume reduced to a film to conserve water., the Pioneer Memorial and its waterfall will be formally rededicated Wednesday. Sixty years to the day after it debuted on July 3, 1958, county officials and arts enthusiasts will gather at 10 a.m.
The three ceremonies reflect different facets of the monument as a work of art, a memorial to the birth of Los Angeles as an American city and a tribute to the only religiously oriented military unit in U.S. Army history. Aside from the religious wrinkle, the events depicted in the monuments have also been clouded by reports that members of the battalion once fired down on the residents of the pueblo.“We actually found that there was Mexican military that was shooting at the Californios,” Mills said.
Articles were collected from museums, cultural institutions, schools, even L.A. Metro, where she now works, Haggarty said. One of its vignettes also recognizes the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, a sponsor of the memorial, with the inscription:"Water and power have made our arid land flourish."
