Jan. 3rd, 2013 09:26 pmIn my trip through Illinois last Summer, I visited Jack Barker's Metal Menagerie, a roadside collection of folk art reminiscent of Dr. Evermore's Forevertron in Wisconsin. The menagerie is on a smaller scale and less holistic in approach, but it was also one of the places on my trip where I looked down at my itinerary as soon as I stopped the car near it, asking myself whether I could find more time to spend exploring it.

From what I can tell, with Mr. Barker's death, his sculptures and creations have all been auctioned and dispersed. I feel fortunate to have seen his workshop and field of creations while it was still there.
