Interesting tourist attraction featuring over 200 concrete sculptures built on wooden frames wrapped with wire. The frames, covered with hand-mixed cement, are embellished with various materials, such as glass, wood, mirrors, metal and stone. Some of his most widely recognized statues include Ben Hur, the Lincoln Todd Monument, Sacajawea, Paul Bunyan and Iwo Jima Monument. A masterwork of American sculpture and a fascinating collection of folk art.

You are in for treat. This concrete park is very special, created by one man, Fred Smith who took concrete sculpture and mosaic arts to a new level. Known as one of the seven wonders of Wisconsin.

Fred Smith's Wisconsin Concrete Park, south of Phillips on Highway 13, is a horde of over 230 out-sized folk art figures and bas relief slabs, set among shady trees and well-mown grass. You'll never see anything like it.
