Old Trapper's Lodge, Folk art park at Pierce College, Los Angeles, US
The Old Trapper's Lodge contains life-size cement sculptures portraying characters from the American West, arranged around pathways and green spaces.
John Ehn created this collection between 1951 and 1981, using his experiences as a former alligator trapper in Florida to inspire Western-themed art.
The sculptures include representations of cowboys, Native Americans, and pioneers, reflecting interpretations of nineteenth-century frontier life in California.
Located at 6201 Winnetka Avenue, visitors can find the collection near the Animal Sciences Building, with free access during Pierce College hours.
A mock cemetery called Boot Hill features carved headstones with detailed epitaphs telling stories of fictional characters from the American frontier.
