Oklahoma City, Oklahoma - Oklahoma Land Run Monument RoadsideAmerica.com contributor Shawn recently made mention of the Land Run Monument in Oklahoma City. We were OK City in Sept. 2007 and saw it. If you're in the area it's well worth seeing. There were a number of sculptures in place, with more to come. [Joe Boulter, 03/21/2009]
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma - Oklahoma Land Run Monument The Oklahoma Land Run Monument is a series of giant bronze sculptures which depicts the Land Run of April 22nd, 1889 that opened "Oklahoma, Indian Territory" up to homesteading by settlers. The monument, which sits on the banks of the Bricktown Canal in Oklahoma City, depicts dozens of horses, wagons, soldiers, and cowboys in a race to settle the newly opened lands.
The area seems very safe as there are "OKC Ambassadors" walking around on the trails happy to answer questions or provide assistance. This is a truly amazing work of art and is a mere five minutes away from the Oklahoma City National Memorial. [Shawn, 03/18/2009]
[RA: That crazy Land Run -- it was like the first minute of an electronics store opening on Black Friday (only with less trampling). On a higher level of abstraction, how would a sculptor render the Sub-Prime Mortgage Housing Run? And what city would deserve it above all others?]Nearby Offbeat Places
