"The
Great Green Swede is worth the visit just by itself! We were in never
dreamed that such a powerful monument
existed. Mt. Rushmore takes a back seat!!"
Prince Charles, October 22, 2013
Can you hear it? lumpa, tumpa, LuMpa, TuMpa, LUMPA TUMPA. You can hear it for miles.
What is it? Why the heartbeat of the Great Green Swede! ...or is it your heart as you view this magnificent monument?
One of the great mysteries of the warm north is the famous
monument to Morty Goldenstein the Amish fisherman from Switzerland who
first set foot here in 1684. "I claim this land and name it after my
hometown of Fredericton," he was said to have said, "let us have a
celebratory Briss! Volunteers?"
His men later erected a 27.4m (90 foot) monument to his power and glory. It is
overlooking the beautiful St. John river Valley and can be seen by
approaching planes up to 17 miles away. Ask you pilot to circle around
Morty!
Fredericton: The fun is just beginning!
