In this photo taken on Sept. 21, 2013, Louise Harrison, the sister of late Beatles guitarist George Harrison, reads off the historical marker honoring her famous brother's September 1963 visit to Benton, Ill., five months before the group's landmark live appearance on "The Ed Sullivan Show" launched the British invasion. George Harrison's trip to Illinois made him the first Beatle to come to the United States, though he was virtually unknown then in 7,000-resident Benton or the rest of America, explaining why Harrison enjoyed anonymity during his visit.
