It is a monument to curiosity and enthusiasm. What was once just the dream of a small boy has grown from a single building welcoming 943 visitors in 1983 to a world-renowned roadside attraction hosting some 25,000 visitors each season. We are a 501(c)3 with a mission to preserve and protect the artistic legacy of Ross Ward and translate his vision into a rousing call to live a more creative and colorful life." } ] } ] ```
