This monument is on what was known as the Louise Starling Ranch. On January 31, 1976, local and state dignitaries addressed between 3,500 and 4,000 people gathered here to celebrate the February 1 departure of the Bicentennial Wagon Train, and its 1,200 mile trek to Valley Forge. Three Florida wagons and various riders made the trek, and the national wagon train reached Valley Forge on July 3.
