A Monument to the Northwoods Imagination

The Wisconsin Concrete Park is home to 237 extraordinary sculptures created by self-taught artist Fred Smith between 1948 and 1964. A retired lumberjack with a visionary spirit, Smith populated his Phillips, WI, property with a "historical panorama" of concrete and glass-encrusted figures—ranging from local legends and national heroes to the wildlife of the Wisconsin woods.

Preserving a Legacy

As a masterwork of 20th-century vernacular art, the park treats history as a living, breathing landscape where the real and the imagined coexist.

The Friends of Fred Smith, Inc. works in partnership with Price County to preserve this site’s unique resources, including:

• 237 Sculptures reflecting local lore and national history.
• The Historic Smith Family House.
• Public Educational Programming and cultural facilities.
