The Esenhower bust stands at 16ft tall upon a 5ft stone pedestal flanked by five 35ft flagpoles. Each flagpole represents one of the 5 branches of military service. Personalized engraved bricks feature veterans and their service to our country. Designed by David Adickes.
This is a real stop off point well worth a little detour. There is excellent literature at the site and it is a lovely memorial. You can clearly see the monument from the road , but it is nice to get up close.

The museum is open Thu - Fri - Sat 11AM - 4PM and Sun by appointment. The RRRM displays many historical items from the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad known as the Katy and other rail lines serving Denison, Texas and the Texoma area. Our new location is 124 West Main Street, one block west of the Historic Katy Depot, one blocks east of US 69. Come visit our Interactive Train Simulator the next best thing to operate the real thing. Our gift store has many train related items to purchase. Outside the Katy Depot next to our train equipment display is the historical marker for the site of the first North-South Rail Connection in the United States.
Diane Geer is just the best historian ever. She told the story of the Denison Railroad depot like you were living it today. She told all the history of how it was built and its demise when KATY up and closed this very large facility. How a man sold all his holdings and even borrowed money to purchase the building when he heard it was to be torn down. He forever saved this beautiful piece of history. It is a must for a wonderful entertaining account of very important history. Told by a woman Diane Geer who makes it come to life. One of my favorite day trips ever. Thanks Diane, The Deals
