Remember going to that presidents park shortly after it opened in 04. Was a Great scenic park environment with panels next to each bust about the president as you wind through all of them in chronological order. Ended with a gift shop. I’m just glad to see the busts are still around, and that it’s at least open sometimes for people to see
@@rezakarampour6286 i will be politically incorrect. we could put the live former president trumpster and current live president binden and they would fit in very well. empty headed and not doing much good for the country and making a concrete statue of them would be a waste of good concrete.
Had the pleasure of seeing the actual park in Williamsburg when it was up and running but starting to show its age. It is amazing how much I can see in the visitor's voices this experience means to them b/c it meant the same to me.
As a sculptor,I felt the same when I visited Rushmore. I wanted to climb up there,touch the work,understand it. Borglums studio showed me everything... This is awesome what he did saving those....
How cute, the sculptor didn’t realize he said a funny pun, “…they wouldn’t have gotten so busted up…”. So, the busts got busted up when they were moved. ❤️ 😊
I visited the original Presidents Park in early 2004 after it had opened and remember speaking to Mr. Newman who opened and ran it back then. Very nice gentleman. I still have the coffee mug I bought that day at the souvenir shop.
I heard about this a few years ago, but the article had no aerial shots of it. So, I opened up Google Earth and spent an evening poring over the satellite view until I found the field of prez heads. That search was so gratifying!
Renowned Texan artist David Adickes sculpted Presidential Heads, which rest in Houston, TX., makes these so amazing. He adjusts the busts depending on where they are to be located so they appear correct when viewed from the ground. I've been to his studio in Houston and it's amazing... there are a number of these busts in and around Houston, TX.
This is symbolic as to what will happen to the history of America. A season for everything under the sun. Whatever country you live in on earth, just remember that it's only temporary and not worth praising.
i used to drive by this on my way to work everyday and this guy has more people in his yard then the park ever did. right next to busch gardens and water country was a bizarre idea
GOOD Video;The widespread backwardness of our economy, increments in the price of gas, and rate of unemployment is becoming inconducive. cryptocurrency is down, consumer consumption is rumor to be down big time! This will cause income taxes to go up big time it's obvious we are headed for hyperinflation, unfortunately having a job doesn't mean been safe rather having multiple income streams that doesn't depend on the government would be a great decision...

@@mackea4651 that's actually quite impressive, Please how can I contact your advisor, I really like what he has done for you, and I also want to benefit from it. I am looking to make a change on my finances this year as well
I say they should be restored with the funds that are coming in from visitors, but kept at the same location, the creator seems to agree when he said he would had fix it.
What future citizens. Humanity will be "lucky" and mostly miserable to survive another 200-300 years. Human accelerated climate change doesn't give a crap if you deny it. The Earth is 🔥 up.
I do wish that they would do a Go Fund Me to keep them from getting any worse. They really aren't that old. I'm glad he didn't crush them. 🎆🇺🇸🎇 Happy 4th of July.
Wonder what history will think of joe’s idiotic comments and behavior.You can be rest assured that no one in the future will call his presidency “the good old days “.
David Adickes is so talented and is still working at 95, amazing!
Anyone else find it eerie how Lincoln's head was damaged in the back, just like resembling his assassination at Ford's Theater?
I noticed that too
Just about to say that
No coincidence at all
My thoughts exactly.
95 years old and the man is still doing what he loves. My hero is David
Why is this artist not widely recognized!!

Feel bad for Abe. He can’t catch a break.
Right? I was expecting JFK to be in similar shape after seeing Abe.
Yes Eerie where it broke.

How ironic that Lincoln's head is blown out at the back?😭
The crumbling statues an outstanding metaphor of the decline of America. How literary! *BRAVO!*
yeah, because of that pedophile Joe Biden.
I wholeheartedly agree 😎👍
they are kinda creepy
We building back better yet?
As a sculptor,I felt the same when I visited Rushmore.
I wanted to climb up there,touch the work,understand it.
Borglums studio showed me everything...
This is awesome what he did saving those....
I was at a park in Jersey City, NJ yesterday where
there is a bear and a bison sculpture by his brother Solon Borglum.
Maybe it's a buffalo.
Thank you for preserving the part history for ourselves and our children to learn and remember those that help shape our country.
For 90 yrs old you look marvelous
95
There is a bad Lincoln assassination joke in all that
Well this is a fun and inspiring 4th of July story...Thank YOU!!😃
Lincoln’s head omg it’s to perfect
BOOM.
Thank you for saving these artistic treasures. Please repair them or get the artist/creator of them to repair them -- while you still can! Thanks!
Damn, Lincoln can't catch a break
Glad he decided to rescue them. Hopefully, the money coming in will help with restoration. The other guy, God bless him on what he does too.
How cute, the sculptor didn’t realize he said a funny pun, “…they wouldn’t have gotten so busted up…”. So, the busts got busted up when they were moved. ❤️ 😊

So do you have the directions for it or can you post a map link?
Mr. Addicks,
Thank you for using your gifts to preserve and to continue an important part of American history! 👍🏿🙏🏿😇

Should really name it “US Heads of State”. Very quirky and cool. America at its finest/weirdest.
Noam Chomsky : The Crime of US President '
Agree
Ironic that Lincoln had damaged to the back of his head, eerily familiar
That's respect. Thank you all.
How awesome and how'd I miss those as a fan of nearby colonial billyburg?! A great report about an American recycler!!
These busts are so amazing.
I enjoy looking at statues. It is interesting to learn how these statues are made.
This is symbolic as to what will happen to the history of America. A season for everything under the sun. Whatever country you live in on earth, just remember that it's only temporary and not worth praising.
I love them its like a giant chess set ,beautiful!
Now there's an idea
It's a shame that someone with a lot of money didn't preserve this attraction ... but they'll spend a billion dollars for a yacht. SMH
Yes. HIS- STORY...
Did anyone catch how ironic it is that the back of Lincolns head is destroyed?
Wonder why he chose to restore Jackson over others?
very interesting story. i wouldn't mine visiting the park and seeing the statues
Jackson is quite striking...May have had great hair in real life.
Mitch knew about the. C. O. U. P.
These used to be Target in Houston off of i-10. They were stored in an empty lot. So weird. Equally quirky and a bit of a roadside attraction.
Unless the statues are stopped from decaying that place is going to look extremely creepy eventually
We should have something like this in my community.
You don't want to have something like this in your community .there is nothing to be proud of . Research
They need a presidental park federally owned
Oh, why oh why isn't this wonderful collection called "HEADS of State"!!!???

Why waste time fixing Andrew Jackson when Lincoln is broken? Still thats pretty cool.
So cool! 😎❤️🤍💙
This looks amazing
back of lincoln's head is open once again......
They've all had "big heads," and still do!😑
So awesome seriously
Great story
You mean to say that there was room for more after Barry Soetoro's head was placed there or did they just reduce it about 90% so it would fit?
Just amazing and special
I wanna go oneday !
Sadly, when the heads were moved the creator was not contacted. He knew how best to minimize or eliminate damage to them.
I say they should be restored with the funds that are coming in from visitors, but kept at the same location, the creator seems to agree when he said he would had fix it.
When life gives you lemons, make lemonade :-)
Crumbling just like democracy.
So cool!!
😏 I like the zombie-esque vibes of some of these giant Presidential heads.
This looks better than Mt. Rushmore attraction.
What a beautiful park.
The definition of irony @1:47
That's not irony.
@@betsyduane3461 Lighten up, Francis. It was funny. Jesus.
The lincoln head is all too appropriate.
He should not repair them as they are it’s gives the feeling of walking among ancient ruins.
The sculptor is bummed they got broken after he asked to have them crushed?
It's not a time in history for me to be proud to be an American. What we did in Iraq and the actions of Trump disgust me.
Very nice 🇺🇸
This place looks amazing😍😍
Freaken awesome
Imagine future citizens digging these up wondering what these strange statues are
What future citizens. Humanity will be "lucky" and mostly miserable to survive another 200-300 years. Human accelerated climate change doesn't give a crap if you deny it. The Earth is 🔥 up.
He’s gotta get orange paint if he’s gonna do Trumps head
Lincoln just can't keep is head together.
I recognize them all.
No graven images!
So cool
Like Mt. Rushmore
"Bleeding Head Good, Healed Head Bad!"
ozzy was there
use the money to pretty up the place a bit , that should be preserved
I do wish that they would do a Go Fund Me

What has our nation become? Hope they can be repaired…
Thus the modern EGYPTIANS....

Please don’t do trump.
God Bless America 🇺🇸!!
Which god would that be?

You know shame that education institutions should bring back Civics .
Well, democracy is dying. Why not the statues?
Lincoln looks like somebody shot the back of his head off! Oh wait ... I guess it is just photorealism :(
Henry Winkler resembles Andrew Jackson.
Lol. No Obama or Trump 😂😂🤣
Wtf is a Biden
bc it was made before or early during Obama trump or Biden office.. THINK
Where is Obama
Thats,my question
Hey where's Trump and Biden?
Hey, be patient! No sense getting a head of ourselves! :D
do you have any plans to do a presidental bust on donald trump or joe biden
Does he have Grover Cleveland twice😄
