Why would the citizens of Minerva choose to commemorate their late, mustachioed mayor with a sculpture not of the man, but rather of his mustache? Clearly the good people of Minerva believe the answer is Why not! This monument is a good 20-25 minute drive from basically everything else on the Roadside America list of Things to Do, except for the rather large cow by the dairy and the death Mask of Pretty Boy Floyd at the Spread Eagle Tavern in Hanoverton, so make sure to get pictures of everything on your way through!
