Giant Uncle Sam

The fireworks store is now closed, and there is a gate across the entrance. So there is no safe way to stop and take a photo of him front or back going eastbound.

The Giant Uncle Sam statue is located right past the Ohio state sign east of Indiana, on the south side of US 30/Lincoln Highway.

Facing east. As mentioned before it is difficult to stop or get a good picture of his front. Start slowing down and watching for him on the right side as soon as you cross the state line eastbound.

Giant Uncle Sam

Very difficult to get a safe photo with this one; Uncle Sam faces east, and the turn into the fireworks place requires a pretty sudden deceleration. If you pull into the parking lot, you can get a shot of his backside...you'd have to wade through tall grass to get him from the front.
