Atlanta, IL – We’re excited to
announce the addition of yet another giant at the American Giants
Museum (AGM) in Atlanta, IL!
The Phillips Cowboy installed this past Memorial Day Weekend, will
be joined by a Viking Carpet Giant set to arrive on Friday, June
20th. The public is invited to attend and watch as this 20' tall
statue arrives and is installed on the grounds of the American
Giants Museum. Check the American Giants website and Facebook page
for updates on when the Viking will arrive on the 20th.
The American Giants Museum was designed and developed as a
partnership between American Giants founder, Joel Baker, and the
Atlanta Betterment Fund organization. The project received
assistance from the City of Atlanta, the Illinois Department of
Tourism, and the Illinois Route 66 Scenic Byway Program. Several
years ago, Baker approached the Atlanta Betterment Fund organization
with the idea of creating an American Giants Museum. Baker’s
collection of giants, sales materials, files, photos, and other
documents from International Fiberglass is the basis for the
museum’s exhibits, giving Route 66 tourists the chance to see, learn
about, and interact with what will be the largest single collection
of American Giants anywhere along Route 66.
