Our destination – the town of Phillips and Fred Smith’s Wisconsin Concrete Park.
It’s the favorite roadside attraction of the author of the guide book we’re using and since we’ve been enjoying his observations, we decided to give it a go.
Hmm, a miniature-cross between the Watts Towers and the Terra Cotta Warriors? Fred Smith started this project in 1950. He had a stroke in 1964 bringing an end to his constructions although he continued to speak of making additions until his death in 1976. There are over 200 pieces crowded onto this property on the edge of the highway.
