Historic Nugget: In the late 1920's, the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR) commissioned the design, casting and placement of 12 memorials commemorating the spirit of the woman pioneer. These memorials were placed along the route of the National Old Trails highway and extended from Washington, DC to Los Angeles, California. The 'Madonna of the Trails' basically follows the current US Route 40. (Cornucopia, Wayne County STAR, May 22, 2003 based on apresentation by D.A.R. member Winnie Barnes.) Copyright
