Pollard's Collection has so much interesting stuff in the yard and an old car cemetery of sorts in the back and a shoe tree right by the front. Don't miss the boat up in the tree from the flood of '93!

A "bumper crop," last accurate count I had was 337 but it has grown considerably since then. 15 foot bumper guard (suit of armor), 22-ft. cannon, bell wagon, pot rod , plane crashed in the back yard, giant lady bug... He has way too much stuff to list here but it's quite a collection. If you call or stop by he'll tell you all about it and show you as much as you want to see.
