"For the record there are a number of same identical statues scattered across the USA. We challenge anyone to visit them all. We visited May 2023"
"The hamburger was good, could have been a little bigger for the price, meant the owner, she was very nice"
"This Madonna of the Trail monument in Lexington, Missouri is a little off the beaten path. But it’s still a super cool part of our nations history. It’s at a weird intersection but there’s still lots of street parking – at least there was when I was there. This monument faces south and is still in its original location."
"Beautifully restored by MSSDAR and the City of Lexington over looking the Missouri River."
"Very well kept and interesting Monument."
