Mike at The End of the Trail. The sculpture is 18' tall and weighs 4 tons.
TJ at Canyon Princess. This 16,000-pound sculpture is carved from a single block of Colorado yule marble. Nice kitty.

Mike visits with Mr. Lincoln.
TJ at the entrance.If you've never been there, The National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City is absolutely worth the trip. The museum will take at least an afternoon to enjoy. They display our western heritage from many vantage points. You can see a history of the trail drives or the pioneers or the early western movies or the wild west shows, etc. We were able to view many original paintings by Remington and Russell as well as many other fine artists. The museum has displays dedicated to people such as John Wayne (you can see the actual rifle he carried in Stagecoach and True Grit - not to mention that famous eye-patch!). There's a fine restaurant and a movie theater, a wonderful section of Native American art and history and a gift shop as well.

Lis, it has changed alot. They have the old timey town as the childrens section and they is also some outside places as well. Also make sure you don't have tired feet before you go.
