If you've cruised downtown Kissimmee much these past few years, no doubt you're familiar with Preston Willingham's work.

Willingham gave Osceola the remarkably warm, touching, bronze statue of a Florida pioneer couple and their dog, it has graced the lawn in front of the historic courthouse in Kissimmee since 1987.

The Pioneers, a powerful symbol of the strength and teamwork it took to settle this land.
