Virginia man has 43 crumbling busts of US presidents on his farm

A Virginia man who owns 43 presidential busts is raising money so that he can open a museum to properly display them. The statues — some of which weigh up to 20,000 pounds — are currently sitting on Howard Hankins' farm in Croaker, Virginia.

snip

The busts were originally commissioned for a tourist attraction that opened in Williamsburg, Virginia a decade ago. But, following financial difficulties, the park closed.

Hankins has a statue of every American president except Obama, which he plans on commissioning when his museum is up and running. He's also going to make space at his museum for whoever's chosen in the next election.
