Nelson's Granite Marker


On December 4, 2009, Clark Thompson, founder of Maine's Trotting Horse Heritage Trail and Bernie Butler, resident of Sidney, Maine, placed a granite marker at the Sterling Street Park in Waterville, Maine. This marker recognizes Nelson, Maine's most famous stallion trotter. December 4th marked the 100th anniversary of the stallion's death. 100 years ago, the horse was buried on Sunnyside Farm beside a tall pine tree on December 4, 1909.
