There are plenty of strange monuments in Vermont, like the World's Tallest Filing Cabinet monument in Burlington, the statute of a Gorilla holding up a Beetle automobile in Leicester, or the giant middle finger monument erected on private property on Route 128 (Brown's River Road) in Fairfax. But, these monuments may not even come close to winning the strangest monument in Vermont award — this slot is reserved for the Vermontasaurus, a structure of a dinosaur made from recycled wood and other scarp pieces.
The Vermontasaurus is perhaps the wackiest landmark and structure in all of Vermont.
You can find this fascinating artwork in the town of Post Mills on 104 Robinson Hill Road.
Built from scrap wood and other recycled materials, the Vermontasaurus is a 25-foot-tall by 122-foot-long representation of a dinosaur. In 2010, Brian Boland got a team of volunteers together to construct these dinosaur art pieces for the public.
Volunteers have built additional dinosaurs since and you can visit and see these crazy structures for yourself by visiting this airfield in Post Mills.
In addition to the several Vermontasaurus monuments, there is The Experimental Balloon & Airship Museum on the airspace grounds packed with odds and ends of planes, hot air balloons, and other old equipment.
One of the strangest things in Vermont, the Vermontasaurus is one of those places in Vermont you have to see to believe.
