Lewisville Boot

Artist: Della Meredith

Installed: August 2020

Location: Visitor Information Center, 247 W. Main Street

Lewisville Boot was carved from a large pecan tree that was removed from a city lot during a construction project. In order to pay tribute to the life of this beautiful tree and its history as part of Lewisville, the city commissioned artist Della Meredith to carve it into an art piece. The trunk of the tree has been turned upside down so that a large limb could become the toe of the boot, and the entire piece is decorated with motifs that symbolize Lewisville, Texas. The nearly 6-foot-tall sculpture can be viewed inside the Visitor Information Center during normal business hours (Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. - 5 p.m.).
