The Solo Sculpture Garden by The C Lyon was started in 1984. It consists of three hundred pices of outdoor abstract steel sculpture on the David Smith genre. At the present time it covers thirty acres of manicured trails and another ten acres being developed to make room for one hundred and fifty more pieces. The artist has experimented for years with all kinds of paints and finishes to find the desired one that will be maintenance free until the sun burns out. tha artist guides the walking tours and there is a ten-minute concert at the Poets Park where the artist recites several of his own poems, sings folk songs and plays the guitar. The entire tour takes over an hour. The sculpture are not for sale.
