Welcome to Presidents Park
When you think of a presidential statue, you probably think of the enormous, seated Abraham Lincoln at the Lincoln Memorial—or, of course, of Mount Rushmore. In the early 2000s, 43 stone busts of U.S. presidents were created with the intention of creating a monument on par with these. But things didn't go as planned—and the haunting scene in this picture is the result.
In the late 1990s, Williamsburg landowner Everette "Haley" Newman teamed up with an artist named David Adickes to construct these presidential busts in hopes of creating an East Coast Mount Rushmore. And the plan actually succeeded…to a degree. "Presidents Park," in Williamsburg, Virginia, opened in 2004 and was operational for six years, but then went bankrupt. But the story of the presidents' heads was just beginning… Learn about some famous monuments that are hiding little-known secrets—and, more troublingly, the racist history of Mount Rushmore.
