Installation is almost complete on "Kicks 66", a massive 35-foot-tall, illuminated red cowboy boot sculpture in Oklahoma City celebrating the 100th anniversary of Route 66.

Designed by local artist Cameron Eagle, the 6-ton aluminum monument features the stitched lyric, "Oklahoma City Looks Mighty Pretty"

The location is just east of the @ncwhm National Cowboy and Western Heritage Center near NE 63rd and MLK Boulevard.

[City of OKC @cityofokc]

The Mother Road is about to be brighter.

"Kicks 66" began the journey to the @ncwhm early this morning. Check out the progress next time you're on I-44.

[JOHN WAYNE @JohnDukeWayne]

Happy Birthday to the Duke!

Today we celebrate the life, legacy, and enduring spirit of John Wayne — an American original whose films and values continue to inspire generations.

What’s your favorite John Wayne film or quote?

The Museum will be open today as we celebrate Memorial Day and all those who gave "the last full measure of devotion" for our country.

It was an audacious public spectacle that became a brutal competition for survival.
