Cultivator, by Steven Hendrix, portrays the classic Lewisville farmer that was the high school mascot during the 1940s and 1950s. Wearing traditional denim overalls, Cultivator is chewing on a blade of wheat and holding a three-pronged pitchfork upright to symbolize another win for the team. Hendrix’ Cultivator also features a tractor and is located at the Visitor Information Center.

Lewisville Sculpture Series - Hop Into History is a series of life-sized bronze jackrabbit sculptures made into various anthropomorphic characters to portray historically significant events in Lewisville. Hop Into History includes six sculptures in five locations throughout Old Town. The City engaged the University of North Texas College of Visual Arts and Design to create a multi-unit, small-scale sculpture series for this public art project. The sculpture concepts and clay modeling were completed by selected student artists, and the casting and finishing work on each sculpture was completed by David and Martin Iles of Bolivar Bronze.
