Fred Smith's Wisconsin Concrete Park

Wisconsin · USA · Hotel

More than two hundred concrete folk art figures crowd a roadside park on Highway 13 at Phillips, Wisconsin, many of them holding beer bottles.

Alongside Highway 13 at Phillips, Wisconsin stands one of the strangest sites on this map, and it was built deliberately. More than two hundred folk art figures in concrete crowd the ground, a permanent crowd of revellers, with beer bottles set into a great many of them. Fred Smith made them, and the public is invited to walk through.

What visitors describe has less to do with any single story than with the effect of being among them. There are areas of the park where people report their hair standing on end. On hot still days, with no wind anywhere else on the site, visitors describe cold blasts of air.

On nights of a full moon, local accounts hold that the figures are not the only things moving among the figures.

The park is preserved as a work of art and is open to anyone. Whatever else is true of it, standing in a fixed crowd of two hundred faces after dark is an experience that would unsettle most people without any assistance.
