A big red fireplug jack, literally on the side of the road.
[Robert Schilz, 10/16/2015]It looks like there is a big, black "ball" for the jack behind the fence it sits in front of. We drove by slowly, but didn't stop, so kind of hard to be 100% sure...

It looks like the sculpture has grown several more fire hydrants since its last photo. It sits in front of the home of a local art teacher.
[Rosio, 11/24/2014]It appears to be an entirely new sculpture. Nice improvement!
It is on the left side of Rt 7 if you are heading south towards the museum. It's across the street from the Shelburne Vol. Fire Department.

It was smaller than we expected, haha.

The fireplug sculpture at first resembled a giant-sized toy jack, but its hydrants have multiplied over the years. Now we're not sure what it looks like, but we still like it.
