This is a 56,000 pound red oak carved in tribute to the Chickasaw Indians who inhabited the Paducah area until 1818. The use of this natural material over cold stone, is so fitting. The fact that it was sculpted by a Native American, Peter "Wolf" Toth, may have something to do with this choice. I think children would be in awe of this work not only because of the size of the sculpture, but also the feeling that the Indian seems to be coming out of the tree. Noble Park is adjacent to this monument.

Jessica D. was a student of mine over 30 years ago when she submitted the name Wacinton for the Indian carving at Paducah's Noble Park. She won. It is a very neat carving and sits prominently as you drive past the park on the way to Kentucky Oaks Mall.

This is only one of many wooden Native American statues. They are carved out of an old tree. Only one per state and this is Kentucky's. Located right in Noble Park, Paducah. The city of Paducah is taking great care of Wacinton. Come get your photo.

I have passed by this monument of early American history many times, located in Bob Noble Park. It is a master class example of wood carving (sculpture) and it is a wonderful accent to Paducah's rich history. A Must see!!!

We were excited to check this out and it ended up being a big tree. It's cool to look at, but I would not consider it an attraction.

I read about this statue on Trip Advisor and the pictures whet my appetite to see it with my own eyes. It was impressive to think that it was carved from a tree. My husband and I were traveling with my inlaws visiting from Rome, Italy. All in the group were pleased with this stop during our trip from Nashville to St Louis. Since we were in Paducah we drove downtown and walked the waterfront and ate dinner at Whalers Catch. All was worth the time and effort. If I were traveling this way again I would return to visit downtown Paducah. I probably would arrive earlier in the afternoon to see the National Quilt Museum and have a more in depth look at downtown. Sidenote: The drive to the statue is not scenic or beautiful but make the drive to see it anyway and then head downtown. Great free activity for families with kids and tourists looking for things to do off the beaten path on a road trip.

I have lived in the area for 8 years and continue to find new things to see and do all the time. Take the time to visit this area and learn some of the history. You won't be sorry.

This is a tree that was carved to look like a local Native American that was reputed to live in the area in the past. There is very little to see in person that you couldn't see in a photo.

The review before mine is very good, up to date and accurate. I can’t add much to that good review. This site is a few hundred feet to the right of the entrance to Nobel Park. Enter the park and park your car as it is a short walk to the sculpture.
