I recommend the FAST Fiberglass Mold Graveyard in Sparta, WI. Acres of giant molds of characters you’ve seen around the country.

I highly recommend a road trip to Dickeyville, WI where you can visit the Dickeyville Grotto. The grotto and shrines were dedicated in 1930. While there is no record of how much stone was used the pamphlet states that six or seven truckloads of 30 tons each were gathered to create this beautiful shrine. The creator, Father Matthias Wernerus, created this work over five years to honor God and patriotism and so it would have wide appeal to people of all walks of life. Father Wernerus said, “ God’s wonderful material collected from all parts of the world has been piled up in such a way that it appeals to rich and poor, to educated and uneducated, to men, women and children alike. Future generations will still enjoy the fruit of our labor and will bless the man who conceived and built this thing. Thanks be to God.“

Wheeling, WV

In the early 1920′s a local doctor started construction on a castle for his beloved. Sadly, the doctor was hauled off to prison and the castle was left unfinished and to ruin. It’s been taken over by local graffiti artists and gangs. Art or ruin?

So. True.

I highly recommend an Ohio roadtrip to the Hartman Rock Garden in Springfield, OH. This miniature village constructed by “Ben” Hartman during the Great Depression is a fine example of “in situ” folk art. It’s free to the public and a sight to behold.

Now this is something they should bring back.

“One grave in every graveyard belongs to the ghouls. Wander any graveyard long enough and you will find it - water stained and bulging, with cracked or broken stone, scraggly grass or rank weeds about it, and a feeling, when you reach it, of abandonment. It may be colder than the other gravestones, too, and the name on the stone is all too often impossible to read. If there is a statue on the grave it will be headless or so scabbed with fungus and lichens as to look like fungus itself. If one grave in a graveyard looks like a target for petty vandals, that is the ghoul-gate. If the grave wants to make you be somewhere else, that is the ghoul-gate.”
