"This round coquina Trail zero milestone marker in St. Augustine was dedicated during three days of pageants beginning April 2, 1929. The marker originally sat adjacent to then-Fort Marion Circle, south of the Castillo de San Marcos. In May 1962, the shellstone sphere was moved to the north side of the VIC [Visitor Information Center]. Now it sits on the south side of that building."
