US President hall of fame includes abandoned giant busts of 43 leaders but no one cared

Built at a cost of $10million, Presidents Park was a 10-acre site that opened to the public in 2004. However, a lack of visitors due to its location forced it to close in 2010

Creepy pictures show a collection of presidents heads that once formed the centre piece of a now-abandoned attraction.

Presidents Park was a 10-acre sculpture park and associated indoor museum formerly located in Williamsburg, Virginia in the US. It contained 18-to-20-foot (5.5 to 6.1 m) high busts of the presidents of the United States from George Washington to George W. Bush.

It cost $10million to construct and opened to the public in 2004, however, doomed by a poor location and lack of visitors, the park went under in 2010. But to avid urban exploring photographer Matthew Christopher of Abandoned America, we are able to bring a selection of snaps from what's left of one of the largest collection of remaining heads.

There's lots of quality news coming out of the US.

In January 2013 the busts were moved to private storage at a nearby local farm in Croaker, Virginia by Howard Hankins. And in a 2017, National Geographic video Mr Hankins expressed a hope to rehabilitate the statues for a park in the future.

However, many of the presidential heads sustained damage in the move and are currently in a state of disrepair due to being out in the open elements.

The 400-acre Croaker farm where the 20-foot busts are located are only accessible to the public during pop-up tours the owner holds throughout the year.

With there only having been 43 built and it going under in 2010; it's thought busts of Presidents Obama, Trump and Biden were never mocked up.

Photographer Matthew Christopher has a regular podcast, where he tells the stories behind the ruins he visits.
