I just visited the park in mid July, 2010. It is just fantastic. I particularly liked the birds. NOTE: Many pieces are for sale. Dr. Evermore’s wife (I believe)was at the park to answer questions. My family bought two small pieces. They are great. Definatly worth seeing if you are in the area.

Correction: It’s not like it’s a big deal and we can’t go back. We WILL be going back as soon as we’re done eating lunch. LOL!

I called and a nice woman answered the phone. She said she had to “something” at that time, (I couldn’t understand her) and was going out to open the gate right now. We only live 5 mins away, so it’s not a big deal and we can’t go back, but still.

It states on the website AND the sign at the gate when you get there, that they’re open Saturdays from 9-5. We were there at high noon and they were CLOSED!!

Visited the site on Thursday, June 10, 2010 with my sister and was able to meet the artist himself. Quite an interesting individual. The place was really quite amazing and I was along for the ride. My sister was the one who actually wanted to go and had wanted to for years. She was finally able to see and enjoy the whimsical items all around us. I was glad she wanted to stop to see his work. Being an artist myself, it was amazing seeing the works of another artist.

It is so true that these photos show only a glimpse of the sculpture park. To truly appreciate its magic, you have to come on a fine summer day, walk all around, and talk to the Doctor. I have an Evermor lizard by my front door, but I call it Fafner the Dragon. I intend to rig it with a butane flame as a surprise for Trick or Treaters.

I thought I had made a pretty cool sculpture of a blue crab out of a junk direct tv dish until I saw what you have done with scrap metal. Fantastic fun and creative imagination at work has no limits.
My hat is off to you!

I think Forevertron is one of the neatest sculptures I have ever seen and truly a work of art!

Tom Every has been a friend of mine for a few years, and I have the privilege of having some of his works inside and outside of my house. These pictures don’t begin to show the sheer size, extent, and intricacy of his work at the Forevertron site.

Anyone who enjoyed these pix should check out some of the other links to see the great and really fun work that the Doctor has done around Wisconsin and vicinity. Tom is a generous and not-so-mad genius who has changed the history of salvage, while brightening up a lot of lives with his art, large and small.

I live a short ride from the park. You can often
find Dr. Evermore there sitting in the shade on a
summer day. He’s a fascinating person to chat
with. There is also some art for sale that will
fit in the trunk of a car.

The park abuts Delaney’s surplus center which
is easier to find from the highway. The graveyard
of manufacturing equipment behind the surplus
center transitions into the park.

It’s worth the trip if you’re ever in the area.

I neglected to mention:

It’s the City Museum. Under constant improvement and additions.

Amazing stuff.

Bob Cassilly, a classically trained sculptor and serial entrepreneur does similar junk sculptures that you can climb through in (and outside of) an old warehouse.

If ever in St. Louis, it’s one of the best things we have to offer.

This reminds me so much of the children’s book Septimus Bean and His Amazing Machine.

If you’re in the area, you might want to check out The House on the Rock as well. Tinkergirl of Brass Goggles fame described just this week as “accidentally steampunk.”
