Vermontasaurus, Folk art dinosaur sculpture at Post Mills Airport in Thetford, Vermont.
The Vermontasaurus extends 122 feet in length and reaches 25 feet in height, constructed entirely from recycled wood materials and scrap lumber.
Brian Boland, a retired teacher and balloon pilot, assembled this wooden structure in June 2010 using materials from his collapsed private museum.
The sculpture sparked debates among local authorities regarding its classification, leading to discussions about the boundaries between art and structural installations.
Visitors can find the wooden dinosaur at 104 Robinson Hill Road, adjacent to the Post Mills Airport, where additional artistic installations enhance the experience.
The construction process involved fifty volunteers who not only rebuilt the main structure but also created a smaller companion piece called Baby Vermontasaurus.
