Monument at one time was a booming town, with two saloons, a general store, two grocery stores, a livery stable, two hotels and a sawmill. But when the sawmill closed down the commerce in Monument changed. Many people here now have begun to operate small businesses from their homes, even though farming is still the main business. What Monument has to offer is quit amazing, which is very appealing for a small community of less then 150 people.
The Senior/Community Center was built several years ago and is used for senior dinners, which are held every Tuesday at noon and for public meetings.

Jan Jewell-PA. is at the Center every Tuesday to provide medical care at the medical clinic. We are very Thankful to have her come here, since the nearest doctor's office is 60 miles away. Jan works with the Strawberry Wilderness Family Clinic in John Day, Oregon. There is also a County Ambulance and State Certified Emergency Medical Technicians on call 24 hours in Monument.
