If you’re looking for an unforgettable day-trip destination, we’ve got just the place – Wisconsin Concrete Park. The name may not sound too enticing, but it in no way alludes to the magnificence that awaits – and that magnificence comes in the form of dozens of concrete sculptures, which depict everything from historical figures to local legends. Take a look:

Wisconsin Concrete Park is located along Highway 13 in the small town of Phillips.
