Default Stonehenge?
Just curious as to what the two stone towers are/were that stand near Arapahoe Rd./287? There appears to be a plaque on them, but it's such a busy intersection I don't dare stop to read them. TIA!

I found this article in the Daily Camera archives...
After World War I, the veterans' group, the American Legion, came up with the idea of beautifying Arapahoe as a "Road of Remembrance," complete with a stone gateway. Today, all that's left are the two stone pillars at Nine-Mile Corner, the intersection of Arapahoe Road and U.S. 287.
The Lions Club assisted in the project by erecting the gateway pillars. On the east side of the northern of the two stone pillars, club members placed a plaque which still reads, "Road of Remembrance Gateway, In Honor of Those Who Served in the World War, Erected by the Lions Club of Boulder." A speaker at the gateway's dedication extended the tribute to "the mothers and fathers who carried on the fight at home."
