On the Chisholm Trail, located in Government Springs Park North, greets drivers along East Owen K Garriott Rd. Silhouettes of a herd of longhorn cattle are being driven over the Chisholm Trail from their home ranges in south Texas to shipping facilities in Abilene, Kansas. The lone Native American shown in this piece represents the “toll taker” who granted free passage through Indian territory in exchange for two or three “wohaws.”
The sketches for this piece were provided by Hall of Fame Western sculptor and Enid native H Holden. The monument and silhouettes were dedicated and donated to the City of Enid on September 27, 2003.
