The Wisconsin Concrete Park is an outdoor museum with 237 embellished concrete and mixed media sculptures built between 1948 and 1964 by Fred Smith a retired lumberjack and selftaught artist and musician. Installed throughout Smiths northwoods property in Phillips WI the site is a historical panorama of lifesize and largerthanlife sculptures depicting people animals and events from local regional and national history from local lore and from Smiths expansive imagination. The Wisconsin Concrete Park is a masterwork of 20th century vernacular art environments. Throughout the site Smith depicted history as an elastic entity in which local and national people events and histories are intermingled with animals all sharing a common landscape.
