Ed Galloway's Totem Pole Park
Ed Galloway's Totem Pole Park, Sculpture garden and folk art site in Foyil, Oklahoma.
The park features a central 90-foot concrete totem pole decorated with 200 bas-relief images rising from a large blue turtle base.
Art teacher Ed Galloway constructed the folk art environment between 1937 and 1961 after retiring from teaching woodworking to orphaned boys.
The designs incorporate elements from National Geographic magazines and postcards rather than following traditional Native American totem patterns.
The Rogers County Historical Society maintains the park, which remains free to visit and includes picnic areas with sculptural decorations.
Inside the eleven-sided Fiddle House structure, visitors can view handcrafted wooden instruments and artistic creations made by Galloway.
