The Sesquicentennial Monument was erected outside the
Dallam County Courthouse in 1986 in celebration of both the
state sesquicentennial and the 50th anniversary of the XIT Rodeo
and Reunion. The granite monument depicts the state outline
highlighted by the XIT Ranch shape.
Dalhart's Empty Saddle Monument, just north of the
Highway 87 underpass, commemorates the pioneers who died
settling the Panhandle. The empty saddle is symbolic of all the
cowhands and pioneers who built the town. The monument was
designed by local artist Bobby Dycke and built in 1940.
The James R. Fox Memorial was erected in 2003 outside the
Dallam County Courthouse. Donated to the City by the Peoples
Republic of China, the monument is in remembrance of James R.
Fox, who flew rescue missions during World War II for the Hump
Pilots Association.
The Veterans Memorial Park, formerly known as 7th Street
Park, now features The Dallam/Hartley Counties Veterans
Memorial. This was a grassroots project that began with an
idea and was funded by donations from the community. The
memorial will honor all who served our country in all branches
of the military in peacetime or wartime. The entry to the
memorial honors those who were killed or are missing in action.
In addition to the stones containing the names of our veterans,
three stones will give a brief history of the U.S. Wars and
conflicts. The memorial is lighted for nighttime viewing. This
is a perpetual care memorial, so names will continue to be added
as men and women from the area continue to serve our country. |
