Bass Reeves Memorial Celebration 2024

​Lawman Bass Reeves could be seen walking his Muskogee police beat this January. An 8-foot bronze statue of Reeves is to be unveiled 3 p.m. Jan. 11 at Three Rivers Museum. The statue will be at the corner of Second and Elgin Streets, by the museum mural depicting an early scene of Second Street, which was part of Bass' beat.

Details of the event are being planned.
The Sculptor, Joel Randall has said the statue will show Reeves walking a wood-plank sidewalk, with a Billy club in hand.
 Bass wasn’t only a U.S. deputy marshal; he spent the last couple of years of his life as a Muskogee policeman.  
Reeves spent 32 years as a U.S.  Deputy Marshal in Indian Territory before retiring to become a Muskogee Police officer in 1907.
Many people come to Three Rivers just to see the Bass Reeves Exhibit.
