World's Largest Totem Pole, Oklahoma, United States
4.0 (52 reviews) Spent Ranking #2 in Foyil Points of Interest & Landmarks
Worth the stop!
It was a fun stop a few miles off of the route! The totem poles are really massive when you see them in person. The pictures do not give them justice. It was a very peaceful stop, and we even had the chance to go into the museum that was on site. This gentleman was a very interesting/multi-talented guy, and they had some of his work on display. My favorite was his collection of instruments that he had carved. So cool!

World's anything is always worth a look. Great Americana
I rated this five stars because I'm a Route 66 roadie, and love kitchy stuff like this. Technically, this is the world's largest CONCRETE totem pole. (There's others in Alaska, Canada and Washtington State that are wooden). This one's six stories high, 30 feet in diameter, and just off Route 66 in Foyil, Oklahoma. The materials on Ed Galloway, the guy that built it are interesting. Well worth the detour, because Foyil is also the home of Andy Payne, the guy that won a 3,400 mile intercontinental foot race in 1928. So after checking out the totem pole, go find Andy's monument. A lot of fun when you're having a road trip, and one of those places where you want to have your picture taken waving to Mom.

Rural Attraction
A couple of miles off Rt. 66, it is easy enough to find. There are the Totems, a small parking area, and a gift store/ museum. They have a nice display of Ed Galloway made furniture, as well as a number of fiddles he made (art not instruments).
