Presidents Park, Presidential sculpture museum in Williamsburg, United States.
Presidents Park was an outdoor museum in Williamsburg featuring 43 concrete busts of American presidents, each standing between 18 and 20 feet (5.5 to 6 meters) tall, spread across roughly 10 acres of land. The site sat tucked behind a hotel, making it hard to see from the main road.
The museum opened in March 2004 after the sculptures were transported in multiple shipments from Houston starting in 2000. The site closed in September 2010 due to poor location and low visitor numbers.
After closure, the busts began to decay, with plants growing through cracks in the concrete. Today many of the heads stand tilted or partially broken on private land, slowly exposed to weather.
The park is no longer open to visitors as it sits on private property today. The sculptures remain on a field with no public access.
Sculptor David Adickes drew inspiration from Mount Rushmore while returning from Canada. He created the heads first in Houston before they traveled to Virginia.
