On this day in 1906, the monument which was placed to mark the spot where the Oregon Trail passed over the hill near the present-day La Grande, was unveiled. According to the Morning Oregonian, "The procession started at 2 o'clock from Ezra Meeker's camp, and was headed by Mr. Meeker's ox team. In from of the high school it was joined by the school children, making a line which reached fully half a mile."
