October presents a beautiful drive nearly anywhere in Wisconsin, as the leaves turn from green to a cornucopia palette of autumn colors as they wait for the wind to free them from the tree..
But if you have the luxury of finding yourself driving along the banks of the Wisconsin River, there is one more thing you need beyond the original Butter Burger from Culver’s restaurant chain and that’s a visit to the Forevertron.
Dr. Evermor’s Forevertron, built in the 1980s, was at one point the largest scrap metal sculpture in the world.
While he’ll tell you what he was thinking when he built the “Mothership,”, it’s the supporting cast that makes for the only reason to ever visit North Freedom, Wis.
It’s fields of crazy really. Imagine hundreds of sculptures of different sizes where each participant looks the part of an orchestra, where each instrument sprung legs and fell under the control of a 30-tall scrap-metal Cello or Admiral Harp of equal size and were forced to choose sides in this epic battle for the control of the mind of the mad welder behind this display.
It’s like a battle of crazy and craftsmanship and for my money, a simple donation, quite possibly the best way to spend a few hours in south central Wisconsin any time of year, as long as you remember October is best.
