A small plaque in honor of Jennie Booth lane is attached to a wooden pedestal inside the front door of the Rosebud Co. Courthouse in Forsyth MT.

This plaque is accessible Monday-Friday from 9am-5pm, national holidays excepted. It is located on the first floor of the courthouse, just inside the south entrance.

The pedestal is about 4 1/2 feet tall, and tilted at an odd angle, which makes photography difficult for short Blasters -- like Mama Blaster.

The text of the plaque reads as follows:

"In Honor Of
Jennie Booth Lane
A
Pioneer
In
Montana
For
Sixty-Six
Years

1855 1950"
