The (IN)Famous UGA Iron Horse - Greene County

 

The Iron Horse was created in 1954 by the artist Abbott Pattison. The 12 foot sculpture was placed in front of Reed Hall at the University of Georgia. Unfortunately, the students did not understand nor did they appreciate the sculpture and proceeded to deface and try to damage the structure. Eventually the sculpture was moved to its current location on Hwy 15 between Watkinsville and Greensboro. The statue is visible from the road and there is parking available.
