Joe's Scarecrow Village, Roadside amusement park in Cap LeMoine, Nova Scotia, Canada
The outdoor exhibition featured over 100 creatively designed scarecrows arranged throughout the grounds, each with names and detailed descriptions on display boards.
Joe Delaney established the attraction in 1984 with 12 initial scarecrows, which grew to 46 by 1986 and attracted more than 27,000 visitors by 1989.
The scarecrows wore costumes reflecting local Acadian traditions, including fishermen outfits and mi-carême celebration attire common in Nova Scotia communities.
The park operated without admission fees but accepted donations for maintenance, offering visitors access to a souvenir shop and snack bar during their visit.
Following the 1986 vandalism incident that destroyed 45 scarecrows, the sole survivor named Rory became a symbol for community restoration efforts.
