"Madonna of the Trail" Lexington Things to Do Tip by basstbn

Twelve such statues have been erected at various spots on the American frontier - all tributes to the pioneer women who endure the hardships of the westward settlement of our country. This statue sits astride the old Santa Fe Trail, high on a bluff overlooking the Missouri River.

Compare this to the Madonna of the Trail statue on my Council Grove, Kansas, page. That monument is also on the Santa Fe Trail.
