About

Along a quiet roadside stand three towering wooden middle fingers, each mounted on a pole. These defiant sculptures were created by the property’s owner as part of a protest over a zoning dispute with the town.

Though the display sits on private property, there’s a small pull-off area near the end of the driveway where visitors can stop and view the artwork, just be respectful of the private property.
