The Missionary Boulder was dedicated on October 12, 1910, to recognize the 248 missionaries trained at the Andover Theological Seminary between 1810 and 1910. It lists the first seven students who entered the missionary field from the Seminary.
The boulder, of New Hampshire granite, was found in Andover's Carmel Woods and pulled to the location by eight men and eight horses. The tablet and boulder sit near Rabbit's pond. It is also known as Rabbit Rock or Memorial Boulder.
