Totem Pole Park

We went down Route 66 today to another roadside attraction, Totem Pole Park. It's a park with a giant totem pole made out of concrete built in the 1940's.

Here's an excerpt from it's website:

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places and claiming the title of the World’s Largest Concrete Totem Pole, the park features a 90 foot totem pole that towers over the park in a vivid array of folk art colors.

Ed Galloway built the totem pole over an 11 year period from 1937 to 1948, utilizing some 28 tons of cement, six tons of steel, and 100 tons of sand and rock. His tribute to the American Indian features 200 carved pictures, with four nine-foot Indians near the top each representing a different tribe.


The base of the totem pole is a huge turtle, Angie was very scared of him and would not walk by him.
