Victory Memorial Drive, a nearly 4-mile parkway that serves as a memorial to 568 men and women from Hennepin County who died in World War I, will be rededicated Saturday, 90 years after its initial dedication.

Activities — including a vintage military plane flyover, laying of wreaths, 21-gun salute and live music — will start at 11 a.m. at the flagpole plaza, at the intersection of Victory Memorial Drive and 45th Avenue North.

Also on hand during the day will be tents and exhibitors with stories of World War I, World War II, Korean/Cold War, Vietnam, Persian Gulf, Iraq and Afghanistan from the Hennepin History Museum; a photo story of the Victory Memorial Drive; exhibits and information by Hennepin County Veterans Service, Hennepin History Museum, Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board, Brooklyn Historical Society, Robbinsdale Historical Society, Minnesotans' Military Appreciation Fund and Beyond the Yellow Ribbon.

The rededication is being held together with the Minnesotans' Military Appreciation Fund's Say Thanks Day 5K Run/2 mile Walk.

Victory Memorial Drive was dedicated the first time on June 11, 1921, when 30,000 people lined the route and saw wooden flagpoles, 907 elm trees and wooden markers inscribed with the names and ranks of the fallen soldiers.

The landscaped parkway extends north from the intersection of Theodore Wirth Parkway and Lowry Avenue to 45th Avenue North, then extending east to Humboldt Avenue North and the entrance to Webber Park.
