The Standing Stone Historical Society, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization based in Monterey, TN, is dedicated to preserving the Native Cherokee heritage through the annual Standing Stone Day celebration, which honors the historic Standing Stone Monument. This monument, featuring a dog-shaped monolith carved by the Cherokee Nation, serves as a focal point for the community's rich history and cultural significance.

Since its inception in 1979, when Dr. Opless Walker uncovered the monument's history, the society has organized festivities each October to celebrate and educate the public about Monterey's unique Cherokee roots. The event draws residents and visitors alike, fostering a sense of community and appreciation for the area's heritage.
