The Garden of Eden

Today, I visited the small town of Lucas, Kansas where I discovered an extraordinary work of art - The Garden of Eden. Created by S.P. Dinsmoor, a retired schoolteacher and Civil War veteran, this unique sculpture garden is a testament to his unusual beliefs about life and death. The garden features a concrete log cabin with sculptures of Adam and Eve, the serpent, and various creatures. A 40-foot concrete tree with its roots exposed dominates the garden. Dinsmoor's embalmed body is also on display, enclosed in a glass coffin in a mausoleum at the center of the garden. The experience was thought-provoking, and I compared it to my knowledge about human history and culture.
