When I lived in Midwest City, Tecumseh and Shawnee, Oklahoma I took trips all over the State.
One of the things I saw that has always stood out to me was when I visited the National Cowboy Hall of Fame also called Western Heritage Museum.
It is located in Oklahoma City, OK.
You will learn a lot about Native Americans and Cowboys.
The name of The Statue is "The End of The Trail."
The name of the Statue is "End of The Trail."
They have paintings and lots of items on display.
You will even see Navajo weavings
There are different exhibits at different times of the year.
End of the Trail: A Centennial Celebration will going on until Oct. 25th.
. There are lot so things to see and do and the grounds are beautiful and have seats if you become tired of walking.

One reason I love myLot. I learn something each day. Navajo weaving. Never heard. Referred on net and realized oh these! I didn't know the name. :) I am not sure I will remember it in future but for now, I am happy with that bit of knowledge. Thank you marcyaz. :)

That sounds interesting .... I like those sort of museums or exhibitions...and have often seen that design on a painting or photo and wondered what the significance was....

The Trail of Tears design is when the Native Americans were gathered and made to march from the Southern states to Okalahoma, Kansas and Nebraska. It was so called beause of so many dying on the way and having to endure the long, long journey. You can read about it on line.

I don't recognize the names you mentioned here. So then you must have also seen Tinker Air Force Base which is huge in Midwest City. It is good they took you to the Cowboy Hall of Fame which is really a visitor's mecca. There is also a place called Pawnee Bill Ranch in Pawnee, Oklahoma where you can drive through where the buffalo roam which is another interesting place to visit, I will have to write about it sometime.
