Don Crossman’s Sculpture Garden, Beulah

Personalized Properties, pg 124
Players: Erin & Mallery






Using old tanks and materials found at local junk yards, Don Crossman has created numerous animals and characters that fill the front yard of his home located on US 31 between Honor and Beulah. When speaking of the figures that include Uncle Sam, Jesus and a variety of animals, Crossman says, “You put it all together, it sounds about like what I’d want in the world.” The figures have gained much attention over the years, but Erin and I found that only a few are still in his yard today. Apparently his house burned down a couple years ago and many of the figures were removed at that time.

  3. We should combine forces: I've seen the World's Largest Weathervane in Whitehall and the Stonehenge replica/haunted cemetery in Nunica. I've also seen the giant chair at Genvieve's in Mio as well as both of the giant cherry pie plates.
