National Mule Memorial, Bronze sculpture memorial at Muleshoe, Texas.
The National Mule Memorial features a life-sized fiberglass statue of Old Pete, an 1,100-pound mule, created by sculptor Kevin Wolf in 1965.
The memorial, established by the National Mule Memorial Association, commemorates the essential role of mules in agriculture and military operations before mechanization.
Radio station owner Gil Lamb and V.H. Torrance initiated this tribute to recognize mules' declining population in U.S. central states during the mid-1900s.
Located adjacent to the Muleshoe Chamber of Commerce along U.S. Highway 84, the memorial includes an official Texas historical marker with detailed information.
Old Pete, the mule depicted in the memorial, received an invitation to attend the first inaugural ceremony of President George W. Bush.
