In1915, the Daughters of the American Revolution completed their three-year project of marking their commemorative route, “Daniel Boone’s Trail,” from North Carolina to Kentucky. On June 30, they dedicated a joint monument at historic Cumberland Gap. A plaque from each of the four states participating in the project: North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and Kentucky, was mounted on one of the faces. The truncated pyramid seen today is not the monument built by the D.A.R. in 1915, but a replacement built in 1929 to accommodate road construction through the gap. (Cumberland Gap National Historical Park was founded in 1959.) Courtesy of Randell Jones, www.danielboonefootsteps.com
