Chisholm Trail

Garfield County · in Government Springs Park in Enid

Here passed the old cattle trail, blazed by Jesse Chisolm, which finally stretched for eight hundred miles, from San Antonio, Texas, to Abilene, Kansas, over which cowboys from the pasturelands of the great southwest drove the herds to the railroads. Many tales of the adventure will perhaps remain untold with the passing of those who traveled the trail. To them, this memorial is dedicated, in the year 1945.

Originally located approximately four miles north of Enid on US-64/US-81. Moved to Government Springs Park in Enid in September 2025. Note from the marker program.
