STATUES OF NORTHEAST MINNESOTA

Our home Coast To Coast park is in Perham MN, and we try to spend a week here every summer.  In traveling to nearby towns, we have noticed that there are many statues in the vicinity. Some purport to be the largest statue in the world of the animal featured. such as the turkey and the bison below. This is not a complete set of pictures of the local statues. I have seen others of a loon, a crow, a milk cow and an ear of corn!

This is a statue to a potato in Barnesville MN which is having a Potato Festival this month. We were told that there are several of these around the town.

This Viking is at Alexandria MN which claims that Vikings were in the Area in 1362. See my blog about the

Runestone Museum.
