Took a day trip to get out town with the family. Thought you guys might like this. The sculptures in the park are all built from scrap metal.
Dr. Evermor's Forevertron[emoji2400] is the largest scrap metal sculpture in the world, standing 50 ft. (15,2 m.) high and 120 ft. (36,5 m.) wide, and weighing 300 tons. Built in the 1980s.
The sculpture incorporates two Thomas Edison dynamos from the 1880s, lightning rods, high-voltage components from 1920s power plants, scrap from the nearby Badger Army Ammunition Plant, and the decontamination chamber from the Apollo 11 spacecraft. Its creator, Tom Every (1938 - 2020), was born in Brooklyn, Wisconsin and was a demolition expert who spent decades collecting antique machinery for the sculpture and the surrounding fiction that justifies it. According to Every, Dr. Evermor[emoji2400] was a Victorian inventor who designed the Forevertron[emoji2400] to launch himself, "into the heavens on a magnetic lightning force beam."
