Marks original road from Canandaigua to Pultneyville also known as the old Sodus Rd. or Pultneyville Rd. This road was originally a Native American trail and the road improvements were commissioned by Captain Williamson.

Marker installed by Marion members of the Colonel William Prescott chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution in 1930.

From the dedication pamphlet put out by the D.A.R. on July 4, 1934 as written by Mrs. C. Roy Curtis

"In the obscure background of the history of Marion we find the Indians following their paths through the forests.  One of these trails went from Seneca Lake to Lake Ontario.  The path from the present site of Geneva went through Canandaigua, Palmyra and Marion to Pultneyville.  Our first road builder, Captain Williamson, followed this old Indian trail and our first highway came into Marion from Canandaigua in 1794.

This road went through Marion to the Upper Corners, passing between the homes of Roy Curtis and Abram Ressue, and then eastward to the Wayne Witherden farm, past the Sidney Lookup farm to East Williamson. This was called the Sodus Road.  The Indians trail from Marion Upper Corners to Pultneyville was enlarged very soon for a road.

Over this road came many of our early settlers and by 1810 the Upper Corners had more settlers than the Lower Corners. In 1830 it had a tavern and a distillery, now the Abram Ressue home, a doctor''s home and office on the site of the Roy Curtis home, a saw mill run by ox power on the hill above the Marinus Moose home, a blacksmith shop, now the Henry Allen home, a grocery store, now the Glenn Burden home, a cemetery on the top of the hill and ten other houses.  All these were on the Indian trail.

Over this road was carried the mail on horseback.  The letters and papers carefully read, brought to the early settlers news from the outside world.  We, the Marion members of Colonel William Prescott Chapter D.A.R. have placed a marker at the Upper Corners to remind all who pass, that once this same trail was trodden by the stately Indian as he followed the trail from Seneca Lake and Canandaigua Lake to Lake Ontario.
