Ravenden, Arkansas: 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.

Raven Statue

This raven statue is located. It is 12 feet high. Due to vandalism of the first 2 birds placed (they were fiberglass) , this last bird was made of cement and stucco, and has stood triumphant for several years now.

[Sharon Gough, 02/03/1999]

Arkansas Traveller Russell T. Johnson reports that the first two were burned down by vandals. "Completed in 1996, and still intact, the third bird is coated with fire-retardant paint."
