Chief Sapulpa statue gets a new home

A 10-ft tall wooden statue of Chief Sapulpa was moved last week from its longtime home at Sapulpa City Hall, where it has stood since it was completed in 1990, to the front room of the Sapulpa Historical Society Museum.

“[Sapulpa Fire] Chief David Taylor called me at about 10 a.m. on Wednesday morning,” said Museum Curator Rachel Whitney, “and he showed up [a little later] with at least 8 firefighters from station 1 and 2.” The crews carefully moved the statue against the wall, where it’s bound to be one of the first things that catches the eye of anyone who walks in.
