Prehistoric Gardens is a road-side attraction located on Oregon’s Highway 101 Coastal Route.[1] Founded in 1955 in Port Orford, the gardens feature 23 life-sized sculptures of dinosaurs which are complemented by the region's coastal rainforest[2]. The gardens are the work of amateur paleontologist EV "Ernie" Nelson[1][3], who traveled to natural history museums around the world to study fossils and research each species prior to construction. [4][2]. Nelson ran the park until his death at age 91[4]. The park is currently managed by Nelson's granddaughters. ConstructionThe sculptures are constructed from smooth, painted reinforced concrete. The rebar was welded together before the concrete was applied.
