Enchanted Highway Regent, North Dakota

East of Medora, North, Dakota is the exit to The Enchanted Highway
home to large metal sculptures. 

Retired school teacher and sculptor Gary Greff decided to put his town of Regent on the map. In 1990 he negotiated land agreements of $1 for 20 years to place his sculptures on farm property along the highway leading to town.
