Even for me, this was one
of the stranger places I’ve visited, on the south side of Bluffview, just across
Hwy 12 from the Badger Ammunition Site. Fascinating, but strange. Or at least
strange after you know its history.
In 1983, Tom O. Every transformed himself into Dr Evermor and built a several hundred-ton sculpture all out of scrap metal, naming it the Forevertron. The purpose of this structure was to transport Dr Evermor to the heavens.
Or so the story goes.
For me, the Forevertron was too big and imposing.
I much preferred all the
hundreds of items he had salvaged from around the country and brought home to
the grounds of his sculpture park.
Oh, if only we had a little bit more property and Hubby was a little more willing to let me go crazy.
As it was, only my friend and I toured the park that October day when the heavens threatened to rain down on us. Or maybe it was the heavens calling to Dr Evermor to get in his Forevertron and head home.
