Small town Wisconsin is no stranger to unique sites. And if you’re looking for a can’t-miss small town oddity to add to your bucket list, the FAST Corporation’s fiberglass mold graveyard is a great choice. As quirky as it sounds, the graveyard is filled with fiberglass molds – but not just any molds. These are colossal molds that come in practically every shape and variety imaginable. Take a look:
The next time you’re in the mood for an in-state adventure, head to the small town of Sparta, where you’ll find the FAST Corporation – and its fiberglass mold graveyard.
FAST, which stands for Fiberglass Animals, Shapes, and Trademarks, is in the business of creating larger-than-life fiberglass figures – the kind you see outside of kitschy roadside stops.
Only adding to the site’s allure is the fact that many of the molds are weathered, which has resulted in a stone-like facade, making it seem as if the graveyard is the remnants of an ancient civilization.
Walking through the graveyard, free to visit and open to the public, which is filled with everything from mammoth mammals to giant dinosaurs, is sure to be a memorable trip.
Though FAST welcomes visitors, they do warn that you should be on the lookout for bee and wasp nests. Also, some molds have sharp edges, so make sure to use caution when exploring the grounds.
