El Toyon Chapter, NSDAR, in Stockton dedicated a historical marker to honor Kit Carson and mark the site where, on March 26, 1844, the Fremont Expedition, led by Carson as a scout, made camp on their way back home after successfully mapping a good portion of the West. El Toyon Chapter, NSDAR, is committed to keeping history alive not only for the residents of San Joaquin County but for the entire state of California. The identification and marking of historical landmarks gives the community a sense of pride and encourages their participation in historic preservation.
