Teter Rock
This large limestone rock is visible for miles in all directions. As you drive to this upended monolith you realize just how large it is.
The original Teter Rock Monument was constructed by James Teter sometime
in the late 1870s or 1880s as a guide for pioneers searching for the
Cottonwood River, which drains all the land to the west of the marker. This hand-made pile of rocks was a marker for homesteaders coming through the area.
The Teter Rock of today was erected as a memorial to him by his family.
James Murle Teter, Jr. was responsible for working with an oil company
to erect the current, Teter Rock. Teter Rock is now owned by Hendrickson
Teter Properties, LLC (Eric P. Hendrickson and Ross T. Hendrickson),
grandsons of James Murle Teter, Jr.
Both Ross and Eric welcome visitors
from across the state and beyond to visit Teter Rock and continue the
family legacy of appreciating God's gift of the Flint Hills.
