Lieu : devant les Terrasses des Chaudières

Philemon Wright (1760-1839) et sa famille furent les premiers à s'établir dans la région en 1800. Sur l'emplacement de l'ancienne ville de Hull, qui fait maintenant partie de Gatineau, il fonda Wright's Town et lança l'industrie du bois.

La population de Hull a érigé ce portrait en bronze de Philemon Wright à l'occasion du 150e anniversaire de son arrivée.
