You really REALLY need to get your facts straight. Great pics, but your information is all wrong.
ReplyDeleteYou did see the final paragraph, right?
Delete"Acid Park is an urban legend. The only truth to the legend is that Vollis Simpson was an artist who created whirligigs. There was a time when you could drive down to Acid Park and see tons of whirligigs, but after his death, they started moving them to downtown Wilson and now most can be found at the Vollis Simpson Whirligig Park."
Obviously, which is why I commented. I should have made myself clear, which I apologize. What I meant was, he was alive when they started moving his whirligigs.
DeleteThank you. We have edited the piece.
DeleteMe and my friends went to acidpark in 1995 or 96 .i remember back then we were all tripping on acid what amazing colors to see at night.no more comments 😁
ReplyDeleteMy friends and I did the same, during the same time frame.
DeleteI took my family from Ohio to Wiggins rd when he would sit in the shed by the front of the driveway.
ReplyDeleteOne night we drove down the path to the left and half way down the car or a car still sat in a tree were it smashed.
YES! Me too but nobody can tell me where it is.....What Road?
DeleteThe GPS and road crossing are both at the end of the post now. Last time I was out that way, there were still whirlygigs up but it looks like that may no longer be the case
DeleteBeautiful story. Thanks for the info.I would love to see more of there art work.
