Email Address: director@visitgoodland.com About this Exploration: ![]() ![]() A mixed-metal statue by Goodland native Greg Todd portrays the grit that successful homesteaders had to have in order to triumph against High Plains obstacles. They Came to Stay stands on the northwest corner of the Sherman County Courthouse grounds in tribute to the pioneer spirit that established Goodland and Sherman County. Statue was dedicated in 1987 to commemorate Sherman County's Centennial. Statue and base cost $35,000.
The adjacent Sherman County Courthouse is an Art Deco treasure. Central School Bell and a benchmark are near the Broadway Avenue entrance. Make sure to see the second floor courtroom. The mysterious Kansas Room painting and the rescued stained glass window are in the library across the street. The sculpture More Than Words stands outside the library's front door. |
