  • Dolls head trail

    They say don’t judge a book by its cover but the title of this trail definitely sounds creepy. The Dolls Head Trail is located at a nature preserve, Constitution Lakes Park. What was once a brick factory, is now the home to this path created for and dedicated to found art.

    A local carpenter named Joel Slaton, thought of this art project while noticing discarded doll parts and other trash that was scattered around the site.

    He encouraged visitors to contribute their own found art, and it’s been collecting there ever since. The pieces are dominated by doll heads, but also include other found art.

    The property is owned by Alonzo Wade, who runs an auto parts shop.
