At this place, near midnight Oct. 8, 1958, Vislians greeted with an anvil salute, the first coach of the pioneer line to arrive from St. Louis. The Visalians' hearty welcome caused the only "through" passenger to remark "They ought to be remembered in the history of the town, so I hereby immortalize them”

Marker is on East Main Street west of North Church Street, on the left when traveling east.
