On today's
episode of the Only in OK Show, we discuss Ed Galloway's Totem Pole Park in
Foyil, Oklahoma.
The Ed Galloway Totem Pole Park is a Route 66 icon and home of
"The World's Largest Concrete Totem Pole." It has been featured in
several important articles and books on environmental folk art and
Route 66 lore. In 1999, the park was added to the National Register
of Historic Places. Ed Galloway spent his retirement years building
a unique park, a monument to the American Indian from stone,
concrete and his imagination. Nearby is a "Fiddle House" which
houses a display of Galloway's hand-crafted fiddles and other
inlaid wood artifacts. he shadow of the large totem pole.
