Landmarks Lecture Series: “The Discovery of the Soulard Stones” ~ Ryan Johnston

Join Dr. Ryan Johnston for an in-depth presentation about the survey conducted by the Survey General of Upper Louisiana, Antoine Soulard on December 14, 1799, as well as the recent discovery of two stone markers associated with that survey. This Spanish land grant was given to the Commandant of New Bourbon, Pierre DeLassus DeLuzieres in 1795 and was the first land grant in the area that would become Farmington, MO.
