Raven statue

Big Raven Statue

Over the years, the town's black raven statue had been torched twice by vandals. Nevermore! The current model is more impervious to morons, standing on a small plaza flanked by an Arkansas and an American flag.

The raven stands guard over the town of Ravenden. It always brings me a smile as I travel. I'd say it's worth a photo op.

No one seems to know if the name Ravenden has anything to do with ravens, but the town decided to build a big one anyway.

Right off the highway, this statue has easy access. FYI there is a pretty neat sundial to the right of the statue, about 20 feet away.
