Statue of Paul Bunyan
Statue of Paul Bunyan, Concrete statue in Kenton, Portland, United States.
The 31-foot-tall concrete and metal sculpture depicts Paul Bunyan wearing a red plaid shirt and holding an axe at North Interstate and Denver Avenue.
The statue was built in 1959 to mark Oregon's centennial during the Centennial Exposition and International Trade Fair in the Kenton district.
This sculpture represents Oregon's logging heritage and stands as a testament to the American folk tale of Paul Bunyan, the giant lumberjack.
The statue stands near the Kenton/Denver TriMet Yellow Line station, with street parking available for visitors arriving by car from Interstate 5 exit 306.
Local residents and businesses raised 85,000 dollars in 2017 for a complete restoration, including specialized exterior paint and structural improvements.
