Historic Monument Finds New Location In The Same City

An old Fremont monument honoring frontier pioneers who made the trek west through Nebraska has been moved to a new home on the east side of town.

The monument was erected downtown more than 100 years ago by the Lewis-Clark Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. The monument inscription says it “marks the overland emigrant trails through Fremont to Oregon, California, Utah and Colorado.”

The heavy stone marker was loaded onto a trailer Tuesday and hauled east to a new location in Johnson Park, which is situated near U.S. Highway 275.
