The Memorial Mile


Following World War I the City created, "The Memorial Mile". 
Memorial Drive, as it is known today, is the mile long road leading to the gates of Stone Park. It was named to honor the 114 Sioux Citians who died in World War I. One hundred fourteen Elm Trees, one for each Sioux Citian who died, were planted along Memorial Drive sometime in the 1920's.
