Easter Island Head The Easter Island Head has moved from Wheaton to Kensington. It's at the Getty gas station on University Boulevard West at Lexington Street. The paint job looks new, but sadly, someone has bashed the head in on the right side.
[Julie Mangin, 11/11/2011]The Easter Island Head has reappeared at a gas station in Kensington on University Blvd (heading east) just beyond where Connecticut Avenue splits off from University. He got a new paint job yesterday and looks just dandy and brand spanking new!

Easter Island Head The Easter Island Head is in Silver Spring, MD. I know there are signs that say Wheaton all over there but it really is Silver Spring.

Easter Island Head The head is quite impressive although a bit weather beaten as you can see from the picture. It makes a great backdrop for a picture if you want to look like you are somewhere in the South Seas, or if you like Tiki Bars or play in a surf band.
[Kevin, 05/15/2007]The owner of the gas station where this attraction sits is from that area of the world. The Easter Island Head was used on a float for the Wheaton High School homecoming parade sponsored by the owner (6 or 7 years ago). After the parade was over the owner placed the figure on his property for all to see.
