There are tons of unique sites here in Wisconsin, and Dr. Evermor’s Sculpture Park is one of them. Filled with sculptures crafted from scrap metal and salvaged factory parts, it’s truly a sight to see. But the most impressive part of the park is Forevertron. At 300 tons, it’s the world’s largest scrap metal sculpture — and it’s as impressive as you’d expect. Take a look:
