Approximately 125 Missouri and National Daughters of the American Revolution, family members, and friends gathered at the National Fort Osage Historic Site, Sibley, MO, on October 31, 2010, at 2 p.m. for the dedication of the Daniel Boone Western Trail Head.

Fort Osage ended the trail from St. Charles to Fort Osage. Included in the gathering were six direct descendants of Daniel Boone. Lemira Parks, Honorary Missouri State Regent, conducted the ceremony. The Fort Osage DAR Chapter members served refreshments after the ceremony.

The Marker contains the following text:

"The trail from St. Charles to Fort Osage was likely the earliest American overland trail across present-day Missouri. Its origins date to 1808. William Clark, then a Brigadier-General in Louisiana's territorial militia, accompanied the St. Charles Dragoons to this site for the purpose of building a U.S. Fort and government-trading house.

Under the guidance of Daniel Boone's son, Nathan Boone, the expedition traveled through open prairies to Arrow Rock, and from there along a path parallel to the Missouri River, passing in the vicinity of the later towns of Marshall, Grand Pass, Waverly, Dover, Lexington, Wellington, Napoleon, Levasy and Sibley."
