A Must See… Pyramid Park!3 min read
It’s safe to say if you have visited this incredible spot you’ve most likely been back many times to show it off to your friends. Just a drive up the road we have a wonderful place … Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park and Museum. It’s a true gem and the exact place you would drive to see if you were traveling out of the country or even to another city. So go and be a tourist in your home town and visit, I promise you won’t regret it!
A little history (to impress your friends on your visit), Harry T. Wilks purchased some land in 1987 planning to build a home, the Pyramid House. He continued to buy more land, lakes, and trails and eventually thought it needed to be preserved for future generations. Lucky for us, he decided to start a non-profit sculpture park and open it to the public. Mr. Wilks passed away in 2014 but left the park in great hands. Sean FitzGibbons is the new Executive Director who is so passionate and is ready with new ideas and vision to add to the already amazing place.
Pyramid Hill is over 350 acres of meadows, rolling hills, and hiking trails that are also home to over 80 permanent sculptures and usually have traveling pieces just to make every visit a new experience. The artwork showcases local, regional, and national artists and features an ancient sculpture Museum. The park is open 365 days a year and has many events like art shows, concerts, and soon, holiday lights display… Journey Borealis. They are partnering with Brave Berlin, the brains behind Blink ( that’s a lot of B’s :) but… just imagine how cool this drive-thru event will be. Speaking of cool you can drive-thru Pyramid Hill Park and see the sculptures from the comfort of your car. You can also do “art in a cart” and cruise around in golf carts that can be rented or hoof it and get your steps in.
The experiences are never-ending. You can bring a little lunch and eat on the grounds or order the special “Pyramid Sandwich box” when you get there and they will let you know when it is ready. You can pick it up and head to one of your favorite spots and enjoy it. You can hike the trails, sit and read, stroll and take selfies with the fun statues.
It is such a zen space and could even be one of the most romantic places you’ve been. They host many weddings and have provided the backdrop for a lot of engagements. It’s just so pretty and it has so many unique areas, some with unbelievable views that you will just want to take it all in. When Kristyn Hartman and I visited, we must have hopped in and out of the cart 20 times to take “one more pic” hahaha.
Follow Pyramid on social media because you’ll want to keep up on all of the fun exhibits and events. You can also become a member and get discounts. I promise you all are going to really enjoy this one… now go be a tourist and tell them Hey Michelle sent ya!
