Centennial Land Run Monument in Oklahoma City, OK is a grand tribute to the chaotic and historic first Land Run that took place on April 22, 1889. Spanning 365 feet, it is the largest series of sculptures in the world, featuring 47 dark bronze statues, including 38 people, 34 horses, three wagons, a cannon, a dog, and a frightened jackrabbit, all intricately sculpted by renowned artist Paul Moore in a realistic style.
With incredible attention to detail, the sculptures capture the excitement and confusion of the Land Run, showcasing the diverse group of settlers who rushed into the Unassigned Lands of Oklahoma Territory to claim their stake for free land. This iconic monument stands as a testament to Oklahoma's history and the millions of Oklahomans who proudly trace their ancestry back to the original participants of the Land Run.
