Wagon Wheel Art in rural Sully Iowa


Last Saturday we spent a beautiful spring day in Sully Iowa watching high school baseball. Between games we had a little time to see one of Iowa's Curiosities! Did you know there is a sorghum mill in Sully Iowa that produces more sorghum than anywhere else in the U.S.? And this same man was quite an inventor. He invented a trenching machine that was produced in Pella by Vermeer. The trenching machine aided both men's checking accounts. This same man at the age of 90 decided to make a scultpure out of metal wagon wheels. That's what the picture below is. Quite amazing. It's hard to see the enormity of this scupture without seeing someone next to it for for reference. See how little Bill is standing at the base. Iowa is full of amazing people!
