Fodor's Expert Review The Madonna of the Trail Monument

Depicting a pioneer mother with two children, this is one of 12 monuments across the country dedicated to America's pioneer women. St. Louis sculptor August Leimbach's work, made of algonite stone, was dedicated in 1928. Other sculptures can be seen in cities such as Cumberland, Maryland, and Upland, California, all along the National Old Trails Highway, now U.S. Highway 40 and Route 66.
