To The Memory of the Pioneers
To the memory of the pioneers who entered Iowa by Keokuk the Gate City and either settling in our state or passing farther west travelled over the well-worn road known as the Mormon Trail.
With this tablet the Daughters of the American Revolution of Iowa officially open the marking of that important pioneer highway.
"They crossed the prairies as of old the Pilgrims crossed the sea, to make the West as they the East the homestead of the free".
