Sioux City History & Culture by Bicycle Part 23: George C. Haddock Memorial Marker

This small, round metal marker was made in honor of a Methodist minister who was killed for his beliefs on prohibition. The marker is embedded into the concrete of a downtown city street approximately where Haddock was killed. This is at the corner of 4th and Water Streets, near Dalton’s Pub, a few feet out into the street from the sidewalk.

I have ridden by this hundreds of times & never really knew it was there. I always thought it was a utility cover the city put there. It is right off of the Perry Creek Trail & right down the street from Albrecht's Cycle, the local bike shop.
