The BOONE TRAIL or WILDERNESS ROAD SITE, at the Circle,
between Sullivan and Watauga Sts., has a bronze plate set in a cobblestone monument shaped like an arrowhead, to mark the route taken by Daniel Boone when he was exploring the Hoiston Valley in 1769.

The cobblestones have been removed, but the metal plaque remains.
Actually, there are two markers on Church Circle for the Daniel Boone trail/highway. The coordinates are for the one described in the American Guide and located in front of First Broad Street UMC annex. The other was placed by the Daughters of the American Revolution and is in front of the First Presbyterian Church.
