James Tellen Woodland Sculpture Garden - Town of Wilson, WI

I'm always amazed at what secret treasures abound in Wisconsin.  I recently paid a visit to the James Tellen Woodland Sculpture Garden just south of Sheboygan.  Nestled among a woodland path on James Tellen's log cabin property, are 15 unique, and meticulously crafted concrete sculptures.  Near the entrance to the garden is a sculpture of St. Christopher, carrying a small child (c. 1920). This is reportedly one of the pieces that inspired James Tellen to embark on an artistic journey of creating concrete sculptures. A variety of scenes are depicted - biblical, natural, social.  Some of the sculptures are in miniature, others life-size.   One sculpture is a 65-foot "wooden" fence.  I can't even imagine how much time it must have taken to carve the bark-like textures into this fence.  Fortunately, I don't have to imagine what it looks like. It's there for all to see.
