A sad legacy to what had been a beautiful walk through free museum in the retired artists' hilly and tree filled yard, but still an interesting roadside attraction in an enjoyable lakeside park that is a convenient roadside stop. Electric City is my hometown.

Windmill Folk Art These windmills are on hwy 155 about 1/2 mile southwest of the berg of Grand Coulee, WA. Whimsical, but couldn't get into the gated garden. There's a sign telling of the now-deceased gentleman who made all of them.
