Russell County: FUN FACT
In Russell County, Kansas, you can find the famous "Garden of Eden" in Lucas. This unusual attraction is not a garden but an elaborate sculptural environment created by Samuel P. Dinsmoor, a retired schoolteacher and Civil War veteran. Built between 1907 and 1932, the Garden of Eden features over 150 concrete sculptures that depict political figures, labor leaders, and biblical scenes, all designed to express Dinsmoor's unique views on politics and society. This site not only showcases his eccentric artistic vision but also serves as his final resting place, entombed in a mausoleum on the property. The Garden of Eden remains a fascinating and quirky landmark, drawing visitors interested in folk art and history.
