Fred Smith Wisconsin Concrete Park

My understanding is that he could not read or write, but boy could he create things. Fred went to work in the lumber camps when he was 12. He homesteaded as a young man and later ran a tavern. The park is right next to where his tavern used to be.
Me and a lion.

The Wisconsin Concrete Park

We stopped at this park created by Fred Smith. He began making these sculptures when he was 64 and continued until he was 78 and had to stop because of a stroke. I admire his enthusiasm.
