My family and I found this attraction on highway 78 at mile marker 16, 20 miles from Pueblo. It shares the same "Point of interest" pull-off as a more substantial memorial, "Civil War in Colorado."

Roadside Grave of Solid Muldoon An odd little marker amid the typical roadside pull off fare: a time capsule and a few plaques.
[Chris Sack, 07/28/2010]On Colorado Hwy. 78 lies Solid Muldoon, known by P.T. Barnum and many ne'er-do-wells as a petrified seven foot man exhibited in Colorado in 1876 for .50 cents a look, and disappeared somewhere along the line. According to the roadside wooden grave marker, old Solid lies beneath, never to be exhibited again.
