Tellen sculptures. James Tellen Woodland Sculpture Garden

A cool mix of woodland creatures, religious and historical figures, Indians, pioneers, gnomes and small castles. The entrance to the garden is a crudely done faux bois fence with a scary looking Indian chief crouched behind it.

Nestled in some lush, but extremely mosquito infested woods outside of Sheboygan, WI. Cool place, but be sure to bring plenty of bug spray. [Mary Norvell, 08/07/2010]

James Tellen Woodland Sculpture Garden

James A. Tellen, a former furniture factory worker, sculpted a collection of 30 concrete characters in his summer cottage's backyard from 1942 to 1957, when he died at age 77.

The Kohler Foundation has preserved and restored the folk art figures, left in place where Tellen erected them. [Roadsideamerica.com Team, 12/30/2007]
