Nothing remains of the original Ulysses town site. But along the highway is a clever metal cutout of horses towing an old bank on a wagon heading west. The sculpture was designed and fabricated by local Earl Seger and his family, and represents the town of Ulysses being moved from one site to another. Look west and imagine a booming town with a population of around 1,500. That was the original Ulysses in the early 1900s. To raise money the town sold bonds, mostly to investors in the East. But when the bonds came due in 1908, Ulysses had no money to pay them. To escape the debt, the residents moved the town three miles west to its present site. The old hotel at the Adobe Museum complex is the center third of the Edwards Hotel, built in 1887 on the original town site. When the hotel was moved to the new Ulysses, it was cut into thirds.
