This is the collection of metal sculptures created from scrap over 65 years by the late Mel Gould.
[Jerelynn Mason, 07/17/2025]I was in the area and going to stop. Unfortunately, Mel just passed away in March.
[Casey Schearer, 04/18/2022]Melvin Wesley Gould was 92, and was giving tours of Buryville almost until the end.
Plan for spending a half hour or more to tour everything. Mel appeared almost as soon as we entered his driveway, ready to show us his work. As a bonus, my kids enjoyed playing with the cats and dogs as well as the new litter of kittens. Very friendly!

Mel's place is truly amazing! He came out to show us around a little. He made himself a mobility scooter after a stroke a couple of years ago. He has so many cool wind powered sculptures and I was in awe. The price was a hug, which I was more than happy to give. He takes the time to tell you about his tinkering and some of his inspiration. He is an amazing artist even if he doesn't think he's a genius.
