A brief look at the 700 year-old stone statues from Sellars Farm State Archaeological Area in middle Tennessee, about a half-hour drive outside downtown Nashville. This is one of my favorite local places to hike and find solitude because I'm always alone in the park -- yet I always feel the eerie presence of someone around me when I'm there.
These are sandstone (siltstone) statues carved between 1250-1350 AD by a Native American artist. The male is nicknamed "Sandy," and he is the official Tennessee state artifact. The statues were uncovered by a tenant farmer in 1939, and were separated for nearly 80 years, only reunited at the McClung Museum in Knoxville in 2017.
