    Category: Outdoor Sculpture
    Sponsor: The original replica was purchased by Boy Scouts of America; the recast was a project of the LibertyFest Centennial Board Lady Liberty preceded the Edmond Visual Arts Commission. The original 8’4” replica was made of bronze and produced by the Friedly-Voshardt Company, Chicago. Originally located on the north side of the intersection of Boulevard and Second in 1951, the statue was moved to Liberty Park in the 1970’s. After undergoing restoration, the statue was returned to its original location at Boulevard and 2nd Street on July 4, 1991. In 2007, following concerns about deterioration of the original replica, the piece was recast and replaced the original replica at 2nd and Boulevard. The original replica was then moved to the Edmond Historical Society & Museum for safekeeping.

    Category: Outdoor Sculpture
    Sponsor: Privately Owned piece This is my favorite art piece in Edmond. It’s located in the courtyard of the Fine Arts Institute, and can be viewed thru the gate behind the sculpture of Monet. There are other two other pieces within 70 feet of these two. Leap Frog is a fun sculpture for the kids to see. If the FAI is open, they can let you in to see the sculpture. If they are closed, just get a pic thru the gate.   Photos and description by silverquill at https://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WM7RF1_Leap_Frog_Edmond_OK.
  • Leaping into History, Kentucky Daisey
    Leaping into History, Kentucky Daisey
    Category: Outdoor Sculpture
    Sponsor: Purchased in partnership with Edmond Parks Foundation, State of Oklahoma, Oklahoma Centennial Commission and private donations. Among the thousands of men, women and children who descended on towns like Arkansas City, Kansas and Purcell, Indian Territory, before the land-rush into the Unassigned Lands in Oklahoma that came to be known as “Harrision’s Horse Race” in 1889, was a newspaper reporter from Kentucky named Nanitta R.H. Daisey. Boarding one of the “Boomer Trains” in Purcell, IT, Daisey joined many of her colleagues from various newspapers around the country, notionally there to cover the story herself. But Daisey had another motive, she wanted land of her own, and had already scouted a potential claim. When the Boomer train carrying among its passengers the reporters arrived in Edmond, it still wasn’t noon, and the passengers weren’t allowed to leave the area of the tracks, lest they become “Sooners” and illegal. Legend has it, Miss Daisey convinced the engineer of the train to let her ride the cowcatcher at the front of the train, and north of the station, carrying her stakes and wearing a six-shooter as well as a dress with many petticoats, she leapt from the cowcatcher, ran across the bar ditch that ran along the tracks, drove her stakes into the ground and tore off one of her petticoats to use as a flag to warn other Boomers that the claim was taken. She then pulled her pistol, fired it into the air and shouted, “I hereby claim this land in the name of the Kentucky Daiseys.” She then ran back to the train and was hauled aboard by the eager hands of her colleagues in the press who to a person, realized they had just witnessed a story for the ages. By nightfall, newspapers all over the country, as well as press agencies like UPI and AP had picked up the story and flashed the name of “Kentucky Daisey” all over the world. Edmond had its first internationally famous citizen. Daisey “proved out” her claim and owned the land for the remainder of her life, even defending it against claim jumpers. Although scarcely the only woman who claimed land in 1889, Daisey was easily the most famous, and her leap into history came to symbolize the many men, women and children who bet their futures in the territory. “Leaping into History” depicts the moment Daisey leapt from the train into the history of our city, our state, and the world. “Leaping into History” is located in Centennial Park, one block east of Broadway along First Avenue. The Oklahoma artist was Mary Lou Gresham. The life-sized bronze statue, sponsored by the Edmond Parks Foundation, was dedicated on July 4th, 2007 and is Edmond’s official Centennial Project.   Photos and description by silverquill at https://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WMAD63_Leaping_into_History_Edmond_Oklahoma.

Legacy is made of stone and glass, and is rectangular in shape. It is approximately 7 ft. tall, 3 ft. wide and 6 inches deep. The metal base sides of the foundation are isosceles trapezoids. The sculpture, base, and plaque are on a flat concrete foundation about 6 ft. diameter, and that is inside a circular landscaped area at the entrance to the building. Two flagpoles are a few feet away. When facing the building, the sculpture is about 3/5 stone on the right, and 2/5 green glass on the left. They meet at a diagonal from the bottom left corner to 1/3 on the top, from the left. You can see through the green glass when there is light on it. On the side of the sculpture, on the stone, are three cutouts that are fitted with the same green glass shown on the other side.

    Category: Memorial/Monument; Outdoor Sculpture
    Born on March 16, 1906, Lloyd James Waner and his brother Paul were born and raised in Harrah, Oklahoma. Because their father was a minor league pitcher in Oklahoma City, the brothers were raised in the game of baseball. Lloyd earned a spot on the Pittsburgh Pirates with the help of Paul in 1927. In his rookie season alone, Lloyd batted a .355 and led the National League with 133 runs scored. He played center field next to his brother in right field. The two were nicknamed “Big Poison” and “Little Poison” and still hold the career record for hits by brothers with 5,611. They have more hits than the three Alou brothers and the three DiMaggio brothers. Lloyd was voted an All-Star in 1938 and finished in the top 10 in MVP voting twice. He moved around between the Boston Braves, Cincinnati Reds, Philadelphia Phillies, and Brooklyn Dodgers before finishing his career back with the Pirates in 1945 with a career batting average of .316. He remained in the League as a scout for the Pirates and the Baltimore Orioles. In 1967 he was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame. He passed away in 1982 at the age of 76 in Oklahoma City. His sculpture sits next to his brother’s in the Oklahoma City Bricktown Ballpark, both sculpted by Jim Franklin, a fellow Oklahoman.
