The Beale Memorial is on the opposite end from the locomotive at Locomotive Park. The memorial has three different sides, each used to high light a different aspect of the Beale Trail. One side commemorates Lt. Edward Beale who in 1857-58 led the expedition that established the trail from the Colorado River to California. Another side commemorates the use of camels as part of this expedition. Finally the third side high lights the establishment of Fort Beale Springs as a way station along the route and then later as a fort and then as a temporary reservation for the Hualapai people.
