This is a great set of sculptures, and is completely finished. If you crouch down low with your back to I-44, you can get a photo without business signage in the background.

The Crawford County Historical Society Museum at 308 North Smith St. displays several object related to the Osage Trail Monument north of town. These include the clay model that was used as inspiration for the monument, and a taxidermied grey wolf in the same position as the one on the monument.
The museum also includes a Route 66 room, one room schoolhouse room, and a room full of historic wedding dresses. The museum is open by donation, Tuesday through Saturday, 10 to 3.

Went to the visitor center on June 21, 2018. All statues are up and just the waterfall and landscaping around it need to be finished. The staff at the visitors center were very nice and helpful. Watch not to get hotel signs in background in pictures.

The elder daughter of the Osage family has appeared, along with a wolf pulling the sledge. Eventually there will be a father, mother, and baby added. Expectations are that the finished monument will be 35 feet tall.
