At the north side of Will Rogers Park is a 32-acre area known as Will Rogers Park Gardens and Arboretum. This area is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Much of the park and gardens was constructed by the CCC and WPA in the 1930s. This Blue Star marker is a bronze plaque mounted to a large sandstone rock in a small garden area near the front walk of the Will Rogers Garden Exhibition Building, by the parking lot drive. This is the home of the Oklahoma City Council of Garden Clubs, who have sponsored this marker.
The bronze plaque reads:
Blue Star
Memorial By-WayA Tribute to the
Armed Forces of America
Oklahoma City Council
of Garden Clubs, Inc.
National Garden CLubs, Inc.
