From Wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pasaquan

"Pasaquan is a 7-acre (28,000 m2) compound near Buena Vista, Georgia. It was
created by an eccentric artist named Eddie Owens Martin (1908-1986), who
called himself St. EOM. Martin inherited the land from his mother and, using
proceeds earned from fortune telling, transformed the house and its
surrounding land. In an article on the outsider artist, Tom Patterson
describes Pasaquan as "one of the most remarkable folk art environments in
America-a sort of mock pre-Columbian psychedelic wonderland of brightly
painted totems, curved and angled walls and walkways, and wildly ornamented
structures that [Martin] called "temples" and "pagodas.". The site is
maintained by the Pasaquan Preservation Society.

Pasaquan is an internationally renowned art site, and consists of six major
structures, including a redesigned 1885 farmhouse, painted concrete
sculptures, and 4 acres (16,000 m2) of painted masonry concrete walls.

In September 2008, Pasaquan was accepted for listing on the National
Register of Historic Places..."

See y'all there November 2nd and 3rd, 2013!
