Cheyenne, Oklahoma

The Pioneer Memorial Wall lists the names of settlers and residents of Roger Mills county. Accompanying the memorial wall is a brief history monument of the settlement of the county and its development from the 1541 crossing by Coronado, through the Indian occupation, the "Land Run," the railroads, to the discovery of oil and gas.

"The strength of the county lies in its people. The ones who came and stayed, endured hardships of droughts, floods, dust storms, and other calamities."
