| Totem Pole Park | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Ed Galloway Totem Pole Park is one of Oklahoma's landmarks and has been featured in several important articles and books on environmental folk art with "The World's Largest Totem Pole". In 1999, the park was added to the National Register of Historic Places. Ed Galloway spent his retirement years building a unique park, a monument to the American Indian from stone, concrete and his imagination. The center piece is a giant Totem Pole building supported by an enormous concrete turtle. Nearby is a "Fiddle House" in which is a display of Galloway's hand-crafted fiddles and other inlaid wood artifacts. Roadside tables supported by small concrete totems invite the travelers to picnic in the shadow of the largest totem pole. Picnic tables available, along with water and electric. Group rates available for guided tours and can be arranged by calling (918) 342-9149 or (918) 342-1127.
