Pioneer Courage Park Monuments, Omaha

The monument in this park consists of several bronze sculptures that, taken all together, create a Wild West scene from the 19th century, in which four pioneer families with their wagons are heading west. It is known in history that Omaha was a gateway to the west. For this purpose, the First National Bank together with sculptors Blair Buswell and Ed Fraughton, created the monument in the middle of a business district as a symbol of courage, bravery, entrepreneurial spirit and impulse to explore the unknown. The monument was finished in 2003 and is considered one of the biggest monuments in the country.
