Looking to travel to a place off the beaten path? Well look no further. Lemmon is charming western South Dakota town exploding with arts and culture

Sculptor John Lopez…

“is a product of a place. His people’s ranches are scattered along the Grand River in northwestern South Dakota—not far from where Sitting Bull was born and died on the Standing Rock Indian Reservation. Not far from where thousands of buffalo were killed during the westward expansion of settlers and gold miners. In the bone yards of Tyrannosaurus rex and grizzly bears. Since farmers and ranchers populated this chunk of reservation land, real cowboys have been roping and branding and sheering and haying and harvesting.”

The Boss Cowman Square located on Main Ave. is Lemmon's newest attraction.

Sculpted by local artist John Lopez, the sculpture features many items unique to town founder, G.E. "Dad" Lemmon and Lemmon itself. Incorporated into it, you can find horseshoes, spurs, knife, Army Colt .45 pistol, a bronze long horn head and many other memorabilia items from the local community.

A mural is also painted on the north side of the Kokomo Inn by Nigerian artists Dontun Popoola and Jonathan Imafidor. It is 150 feet long and 15 feet high and is a lasting image to "Dad" Lemmon.

Also part of the square is dedicated to the past "Boss Cowman." A bronze plaque of each Boss Cowman is placed on a wall at the east end of the square.

As a lasting legacy you can purchase a brick. The bricks will be placed on the walking area of the square. You may have your name or the name of a loved one on the brick.
