  • Madonna of the Trail Lexington, Missouri the Statue Is a Tribute to the Many Hundreds of Thousands of Women Who Took Part In
    Madonna of the Trail Lexington, Missouri The statue is a tribute to the many hundreds of thousands of women who took part in the Western United States Migration. Madonna of the Trail is a series of 12 identical monuments dedicated to the sprit of pioneer women in the United States. In the late 1920’s, the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR) commissioned the design, casting and placement of twelve memorials commemorating the spirit of pioneer women. These monuments were installed in each of 12 states along the National Old Trails Road, which extended from Cumberland, Maryland, to Upland, California. The Madonna of the Trail is depicted as a courageous pioneer woman, clasping her baby with her left arm while clutching her rifle in her right, wearing a long dress and bonnet. Her young son clings to her skirts. On Monday, September 17, 1928, The Missouri Madonna of the Trail in Lexington, Missouri, was unveiled and dedicated. Harry S. Truman, a Missouri Justice of the Peace and the President of the National Old Trails Association, was the keynote speaker at the ceremony. The ceremony was in many ways a “home-coming” for Lexington, and the streets were crowded with visitors while homes were filled with guests. Most of the visitors were former residents, relatives, and people with connections with Lexington. Many people dressed in period costume, including some eighty-plus year old “real pioneer women” who were dressed in costumes that were over 100 years old. On August 25, 1928, prior to the dedication, a copper box time capsule, filled with pictures, books, pamphlets and other miscellaneous items, was deposited in the base of the pioneer mother statue.

  • La Bajada Hill
    El Camino Real National Historic Trail a Bajada is a prominent geologic and geographic landmark in New L Mexico, rising like a wall that stretches out and runs down an escarpment towards the steppes below. Bajada translate to either “drop” or “downhill”. From the very earliest time people were compelled to find a way to reach the top. The traces of those transportation routes, from foot travel to horseback, carts, wagons, stages and finally automobiles, carry remnants of the story of this landscape. The arrival of the Spanish to a land where people were thriving, and their missionaries who tried to change that way of life; the pueblo revolts and subsequent re-conquest by the Spanish; war between Spain and the United States over the ownership of this land and eventually automobile tourism has added to a rich and diverse history of human settlement, transportation and use of La Bajada Historic Trails and Roads. The historical and cultural landscape of La Bajada has historically represented as a challenge to all.

  • THE NATIONAL OLD TRAILS ROAD Part 2: See America First in 1915 by Richard F
    THE NATIONAL OLD TRAILS ROAD Part 2: See America First in 1915 by Richard F. Weingroff The Lincoln Highway Association, the National Old Trails Road Association, and other groups with an interest in California tourism based a portion of their early promotion on the assumption that long-distance highway traffic would increase significantly in 1915 as motorists headed to the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco and the Panama-California Exposition in San Diego. Carl Fisher had cited the Panama-Pacific Exposition in September 1912, when he told his automobile industry associates in Indianapolis about his plan for a coast-to-coast rock highway from New York City to San Francisco. With the $10 million he expected to raise from the industry, he planned to have the new road, soon to be named the Lincoln Highway, ready for travel so “a corps of 25,000 automobiles can be taken over this road to the opening of the Exposition in San Francisco either in May or June, 1915.” The proposal was an ambitious idea that, with the help of an impressive public relations initiative, captured the public’s imagination. As Fisher learned within a year, however, it was also an impossible task. He would not be able to raise $10 million from his auto industry associates or from any other source. Moreover, that amount would not have been enough. And if he had raised that amount, he did not have any means of using it to improve the roads that were connected to become the Lincoln Highway—much less to do so by May 1915.
