The statue got me off the highway to check it out but it was really walking around this little town that really made me glad i did.
This statue is just down the road from a museum that details the area's rich history. It's also in the middle of Historic Helper, in the arts district. Lots to see, all within walking distance.
The statue is OK. Probably a good photo op. If you take photos of people standing by it -- you will see how truly large it is. As I recall it is in front of the local library which is an interesting building (with rounded corners).
The statue is pretty cool and very big, but its also a nice stopping point to look around a small little town.
