Project Details
Pioneer Monuments in the American West explores the more than 200 public statues commemorating early white settlers in the western United States. An interactive timeline and map enables users to watch the monuments appear--and disappear--over time and space from the first in the 1880s up to the present. Partners with Clio (www.theclio.com) to offer walking, driving, and virtual tours of monuments throughout the West. Also provides videos of public presentations about monuments near Kansas City and in Oregon, and model lesson plans on monuments and local memory.
