Erected in 1947. The milestone designates the start of freedom's way (road of liberty) which goes to Bastogne in Belgium. The mayor of Sainte Marie du Mont petitioned to have marker "0" here at Utah but the Government had already decided that marker zero should be outside the town hall in Ste Mere Eglise. The mayor made his own 10% bigger that the official model and put )) on his.
