Ponca City - Pioneer Woman Statue and Museum
The Pioneer Woman is a bronze statue of a young, sun-bonneted pioneer mother, protectively leading her son by the hand. The monument stands on a quarter section of land homesteaded in 1893. In October, 1926, E.W. Marland invited sculptors to submit designs in the form of small models which were then voted on - Bryan Baker's entry was the most popular.
