On July 4, 2003, the Ohio Society DAR placed a rededication for the seventy-fifth anniversary of the Madonna of the Trail Statue. The statue was restored through the efforts of the Ohio Society Daughters of the American Revolution, the Ohio Department of Transportation, the City of Springfield, Ohio, and the National Trail Parks and Recreation Department. Preservation support was also provided by Target Stores and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency, as part of Save Outdoor Sculpture!, a joint project of Heritage Preservation and the Smithsonian American Art Museum. Marilyn Hohn Vaglia served as State Regent from 2001 to 2004, and Michred Dunn Thomas was Restoration Chairman.
