Additional Description: This marker placed by Wheeling Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution, 1921.

In 1912, the DAR began a project to mark a string of historic trails such as the Santa Fe Trail and the Old National Road as a "Coast-to-Coast" highway to be called the "National Old Trails Road" running 3,000 miles from Washington DC to Los Angeles California. Plaques like this one on the Old Stone Tavern and the Madonnas of the Trail are reminders of this early automobile era route.
