This is a beautiful and very large bronze statue placed in front of the Oklahoma History Center. It draws your attention the moment you drive into the parking lot because of it's size and location. The Oklahoma History Center is a phenomenal place to visit with the family. Many school groups come here for field trips, and my own kids have come to do reports for their Oklahoma History courses.
