Pioneer Plaza is located by the Dallas Convention Center at the intersection of South Griffin and Young Street. Pioneer Plaza honors Dallas’ cowboy past by celebrating the trails that brought settlers to Dallas. Pioneer Plaza features native landscaping with a flowing stream and waterfall with a re-creation of a cattle drive in the form of bronze statues of longhorns being driven by three horse riding cowboys. |

Some people in Fort Worth thought Dallas was encroaching on Cowtown's special franchise with this appropriation of such potent Fort Worth symbols. |
|||
After all the Chisholm Trail did not go through Dallas. Some say it didn't go through Fort Worth either. | |||
What can be said for certain is this herd of dozens of longhorns and their cowboy drivers is a very impressive sight as one drives through downtown Dallas. | |||
The sculptures are very detailed, down to the minute detail of have a tail swatting a fly. | |||
The cowboys are driving the herd down a bluff, away from the Dallas Convention Center and Pioneer Cemetery. | |||
Some longhorns stop for a drink before crossing a creek and continuing on towards the center of downtown Dallas and Dealey Plaza. | |||
