It commemorates the faith and sacrifices of the early settlers who braved the wild treeless plains shunned by earlier immigrants. The peace and prosperity that these pioneers and their descendants have enjoyed here and the Post Road which marked by stakes started at Emerson passed this site at that time a stopping place and ran westward through the settlement."
