The oxen and Conestoga wagon sculpture was originally commissioned in 1994 for use at the Kansas Visitors Center at 119th & Strang Line Road. When the Center closed in 2002 the sculpture was awarded to the City of Olathe. The sculpture has been restored and erected at Lone Elm Park. This site served as a campground and rendezvous point for travelers along the Santa Fe, Oregon, and California Trails for several decades beginning in 1821.| HM Number | HMMY1 |
