PIERRE, S.D. (AP) - One of the hundreds of quartzite markers once used to denote the border of North and South Dakota is now on display in Pierre.

One of the 720 markers that were placed in the early 1890s along the new state border is on display outside of the Culture Heritage Center in the South Dakota capital city.

South Dakota State Historical Society Director Jay Vogt says the markers were cut out of Sioux Quartzite and used by the federal Bureau of Land Management.

The two states celebrated their 125th statehood anniversaries in 2014.
