Porter Sculpture Park

Porter Sculpture Park is located just off Interstate 90 in Montrose, South Dakota (about 25 miles west of Sioux Falls, on the eastern edge of McCook County).

This sculpture took three years to build, weighs 25 tons, and is equal in size to the heads of Mount Rushmore.

After graduating from South Dakota State University in Brookings with degrees in political science and history, he was a sheep rancher for a few years and worked on sculptures when he had free time.

The sculptures are majestic, whimsical, thought provoking, and readily display the influences of the South Dakota prairies he grew up on.

The artist continues to make new art in the blacksmith shop where he learned to weld during the offseason and moves the sculptures to the park when they are finished.
