This is a landmark welcome sign for Yoakum. It was installed in 1991 to recognize Yoakum's cattle heritage -- as a gathering place before heading out on the Chisolm Trail, as a shipping point when the railroad arrived, and as a cener of quality leather tanning and craftsmanship.
There is a cache VERY nearby -- hint hint! :)
