Photo Friday: Farm Sculptures near Larimore, North Dakota
Sometimes on our travels we come across things that are truly off the beaten path. Such is the case of Cliff Haugen’s sculptures near Larimore, North Dakota. They’re on a gravel road a few miles northeast of the rest area, and not marked in any way. My mom just happened to know about them and so I ventured off the highway to take a look.
I’m guessing most of these pieces are made of scrap pieces of metal from around the farm, so this is recycling taking on an interesting form.
Some of the pieces are in motion and move gently with the wind.
I apologize for the quality of the photos; it was a cloudy day. And these are only a few of the pieces along the farmsite; my camera battery died after I snapped these pictures.
While these aren’t the masterpieces that others have seen at the Louvre or other famed museums, they’re pieces of art nonetheless. I love these types of finds on my travels! If you ever want to see this collection for yourself, make your way to Larimore, ND, and ask someone for directions to Cliff Haugen’s farm.

North Dakota had the most unusual roadside, um, attractions. I’m thinking of things like the “world’s largest buffalo” we saw near Jamestown and signs for things like the “largest sand hill crane” or “largest whatever” we saw as we drove the highway through the state.
I was only able to convince Tim to stop for the buffalo
These sculptures look fun, too!
These are great pics! It kind of reminds me of a setting for a spooky book or movie!

How cool! I love art made from found objects and leftovers. One of these days when I’m settled down I’d love to make things like this.
Just reminds me how many wonderful things there are to see in the USA!
