Mountain Charlie Chapter has placed over a hundred historical plaques and monuments throughout California and Utah to help preserve our Western heritage and serve as a reminder of our colorful past. As you travel, look for them along roadways or near historical sites. Click on the plaque names to learn more about them. Please stop by from time to time and see what's new. Plaques with gold stars are part of our special Mountain Charlie History Tour. ![]() A self-guided tour of plaques that commemorate the life and times of our Chapter's namesake, Charles Henry "Mountain Charlie" McKiernan. |
The full text of each of our plaques is included on these pages, and more new photos are being added as time and money permit. We have also added GPS (Global Positioning Satellite) Latitude and Longitude coordinates for each of these plaques wherever possible, to make them easier for you to locate. By entering the coordinate numbers into your GPS unit or favorite free mapping website, you can access a map and driving directions to the plaque's location. |
