Penn Valley Park

The 176-acre (0.71 km2) park was developed in 1904 on land through which the Santa Fe Trail had passed.

It contains several famous landmarks: The Scout statue and the United States' official National World War I Museum and Memorial with its Liberty Memorial.

The grounds also feature such commemorative statues as the Pioneer Mother Memorial and The Hiker.
