New Orleans Historical Marker
This monument stands at the corner of St. Charles and Common Streets in New Orleans next to the French Quarter. It was erected by The Daughters of the American Revolution in 1917 to mark the southern terminus of the Jefferson Highway . As you can see the connection between our two cities Winnipeg and New Orleans is carved in stone ;-)	The New Orleans Marker has been protected and kept in it's proper place throughout the years by the Daughters of the American Revolution. In 1997 the Marker was rededicated after a large development project behind it had removed it during construction. Thank you Shirley Stakelum and the DAR for keeping this most important monument safe in New Orleans. See the full Time Picayune Story from April 17, 1997. By the way, the Original Price for this Monument: Granite Shaft.....$34.75 Bronze Plaque...$33.00 FOB Philadelphia
