Presidents Park
Presidents Park was a ten-acre (4.0 ha) sculpture park and associated indoor museum formerly located in Williamsburg, Virginia in the United States. The park contained 18-to-20-foot (5.5 to 6.1 m) high busts of the presidents of the United States from George Washington to George W. Bush.
After the park closed, the presidential heads were transferred to a nearby private field, where they have been decaying due to exposure to the elements. The unusual nature of the decayed presidential heads has gained attention, and the location now offers periodic tours.
