What a great idea to use and revitalize urban space! Everyone studied about the pioneer spirit and how it took courage and strength to cross the prairies and plains to settle America but it was long ago to us and not very real. This sculpture garden captures that moment in time and lets you touch and see the wagon trains and people that made that jorney. The wagons have disturbed buffalo and wild geese that then scatter through the streets and buildings around the park for several blocks.

All I can say is wow! These statues are a-m-a-z-i-n-g! It only takes about 30 minutes to fully enjoy these beauties, stop on your way to the pedestrian bridge.

Park your car and get out and walk among the pioneers. You can feel their struggles and hardships as well as their courage. They are very detailed and researched to be accurate. We always bring out of town friends to see this gem and it is especially good to show to children and people from countries outside the US. Share our heritage.

These sculptures of pioneers in the middle of the city are fantastic and so detailed! You should walk around each one and marvel at the artistry.

We happened to drive by the sculpture and returned another day to see it up close. You could get near enough to walk among the pieces and to touch them. This really gave a sense of scale- like how huge the oxen were and how small the wagons were, especially considering what they held for the journey and for the start of the pioneers' new lives. The pieces are also very detailed. You could see the things they carried, how their clothing was constructed, the expressions on their faces. I also liked the way that domesticated and wild animals were incorporated in this piece. (Make sure you follow the buffalo to the geese- we almost missed them). Maybe we missed it,but it would have been nice if there was information on plants, especially pointing out if any of them were native plants of the pioneer time.
