Wisconsin is weird — Dr. Evermor’s Forevertron

Continuing with the theme of how weird Wisconsin can be, as we road-tripped south we stopped to see Dr. Evermor’s Forevertron in an art sculpture garden in the middle of pretty much nowhere situated back behind a place called Delaney’s Surplus Sales.

The Forevertron just may be the world’s largest scrap metal structure — according to Wiki, it stands some 50 feet high and some 120 feet wide and weighs something like 300 tons.

It was built by a guy named Tom Every.  He says he even managed to include the autoclave units from the Apollo 11 spacecraft in the sculpture.  I couldn’t point them out to you though.

Dr. Evermor says that some day the Forevertron will send him up into the heavens using energy from lightning.

I say, if you like steampunk, you are going to love Dr. Evermor’s Forevertron….

If you go, there is a gravel road just past Delaney’s that will take you right to the sculpture garden.  Or, you can do like we did and park at Delaney’s and walk through to the garden.  Admission is free, but there is a donation box.
