Odd Wayside Art

Driving along US400 en route to Dodge City, Kansas, we encountered a very eclectic fence line of wayside art as we were leaving Mullinville, KS. Mr. Leggitt has placed hundreds of caricatures of people and things, international figures as well as local figures, alongside the road along the fence of his farm. These caricatures are sculpted from scrap metal, pieces of old equipment, old highway signs, and whatever he could find to suit is purpose. Lest anyone think, however, that Mr. Leggitt has a particular political bent, rest assured that all parties and pursuasions are targetted. As one website said, “There’s something there to offend any taste.”
