The Bone Yard

Totally worth the 5 mile detour from I-75. Amazing collection of large and small skeletons riding bikes, walking dogs and generally frolicking around.

The Bone Yard

We visited in mid-October, 2024 -- what a hoot! Close to the Interstate and well worth the short ride. Virgil's is still closed.

Owner Ronnie Maynard adds new goofy skeletal displays year-round. When we asked him why, he answered, "I just like 'em."

Tour de Skeleton.

The Bone Yard

Great roadside attraction! Over 50 skeletons of all sizes -- life size horse and dogs too! The small skeletons playing on the swing set/playhouse with slide is hilarious! Of course they were being supervised by the adult skeletons.

Totally worth the visit!

Skeleton horse, drive and hearse.

The Boneyard Family

Come take a look. Skeletons riding bikes. Horse pulling a hearse. Wagon, a graveyard, with a growing family. Giant skeleton. Great attraction for kids and adults; always changing things.

Great stop! Ronnie came out to say hi to us and talk about his work. The skeletons are all on bicycles, and there are plans to grow the collection. The graveyard, colored lights, and 12-foot skeleton top it off nicely.
