	Madonna of the Trail - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Created by sculptor August Leimbach and funded by contributions, the Madonna of the Trail monuments were intended to provide a symbol of the courage and faith of the women whose strength and love aided so greatly in conquering the wilderness and establishing permanent homes.
		Officials of Cumberland, Maryland, tried to have the Maryland Madonna of the Trail monument moved to their historic location (at the beginning of the National Road), but Bethesda declined the request.
		A longstanding joke about Maryland's Madonna was that she was placed facing east because no sensible American woman would think it a good idea to turn her back on Washington, D.C. Maryland's Madonna has been moved to 9700 Great Seneca Hwy, Rockville MD 20850, at the police and fire training facility.
