Traveling through the American heartland, photographer David Ogden discovered a unique collection of presidential busts. Like zombies on the field were 43 huge sculptures, ranging from Dick Nixon and Roosevelt to John F. Kennedy. Busts weigh 11,000 to 20,000 pounds, some 20 feet in height. Almost all the sculptures were covered with cracks, it makes them even more sinister, but they remain recognizable. These sad sculpture in appearance very similar to the giant, mysterious statues of Easter Island. Some presidential busts from that once a single community was more fortunate. For example, Abraham Lincoln's bust is now set before Lincoln RV Park in Williston, North Dakota, and the bust of Theodore Roosevelt is in the Roosevelt Inn in Watford.
American, Howard Hankins who saved busts, plans to open a new open-air museum where you will be able to accommodate all of the statues and appear new. On the surface this place was like an abandoned and forgotten by all the old cemetery monuments. All giant busts in very poor condition with large cracks and chipped, but nevertheless even a cursory glance was enough to identify each sculpture statue, whom he portrays.
