the folk art of e.t. wickham

In the 1950's and 60's along Buck Smith Road in Palmyra, Tennessee,USA my Grandfather created a folk art world of larger than life concrete statues of politicians, Indian chiefs,religious figures, war heroes and others. After his death in 1970 the statues were vandalized and little remains of them today, but I have undertaken with the help of old family photos to recreate this art world on the web. I invite you to take a virtual tour of these statues at Wickham Stone Park
