The town of Wickenburg has set some scenes in the old part of town with statues that tell a story from the past. This one, at the old depot depicts a teacher just getting off the train to start a new job. The sculptures are painted bronze by world renowned artist J. Seward Johnson known for his life size realistic artwork.

A smart lookin' school marm!
And she was probably thinking: I must have been out of my mind! Wickenburg is a pretty cool place now but back in the late 1800s it was probably a different story.
I missed this somehow when I was there taking pictures.
Kathy is right. A young woman from an Eastern city would be in for culture shock beginning a career in a place like Wichenburg 100 or more years ago.
This is great, hope you share some more of these.
Smart!
Love it.
Excellent little town to explore.
