Abilene's Cowboy Boot Art Trail Features 14 Public Art Installations

Abilene, KS, is home to the Cowboy Boot Art Trail, a public art installation consisting of 14 oversized cowboy boot sculptures placed at locations throughout the community.

Each boot features a unique design reflecting aspects of Abilene's history and culture, including references to President Dwight D. Eisenhower, the Chisholm Trail, and local landmarks. The installations serve as both public art and a self-guided tour of the city.

A full list of boot locations is available at the city's tourism website, AbileneKansas.org/CowboyBoots.
