The monument commemorates the two states of Louisiana and Arkansas and sits on the state line between the states. On the side facing the road (Louisiana) it speaks about the state of Louisiana, while the other side facing Arkansas speaks of that state. The two ends note 1931 (when the monument was erected) under the presidency of Herbert Hoover, and the other for 1831 under the presidency of Andrew Jackson.
Site is surrounded by a wrought iron fence (seems to be new, did not appear in photos online from 10 months ago) so can get close but not touch monument.
Interesting. Not necessarily worth going far out of the way for.
