In 1910, 23 monuments were funded by the Daughters of the American Revolution. In 1947, Dr. Margaret Long, surveyed and found 19 monuments.  A recent survey and audit has been done from 2017-2020 to locate all the monuments, photograph them and work with communities to preserve the monuments themselves.  Made from Salida, Colorado granite to survive the weather and withstand time, New Mexico's Daughters have worked on these markers since 1910.
