Walking Man Seek and Find This October Through Boone County, IN!
This October, embrace the crisp autumn air and vibrant fall foliage with a unique adventure across Boone County, Indiana! Join us for the Walking Man Seek and Find, a special event celebrating art, unity, and community spirit. Our goal is simple: can you find all six of the Walking Man sculptures scattered throughout the county? Each sculpture, a striking 10-foot-tall steel figure designed by artist Levi Rinker, serves as a symbol of progress and unity, making this a perfect time to explore Boone County’s picturesque trails and parks.
The Walking Man sculptures are strategically placed near local walking paths to encourage you to enjoy the beauty of the season while connecting with our community’s artistic heritage. The sculptures are located at:
- Jamestown: Pleasant Acres Nature Park
- Lebanon: Central Christian Church Youth Learning Gardens and Sam Ralston Road Trailhead
- Thorntown: Tom Johnson Memorial Park
- Whitestown: Heart of Old Whitestown
- Zionsville: Zionsville Town Hall
This is more than just a seek and find; it’s an opportunity to immerse yourself in Boone County’s art and culture. We encourage residents and visitors alike to embark on a Boone County road trip, explore the walking trails, and take memorable photos with each sculpture. Share your journey and photos on social media to inspire others to join the quest and celebrate the unity and forward-thinking spirit embodied by these incredible pieces of art.
The Walking Man project was an initiative by the Community Foundation of Boone County (CFBC) in 2019, which aimed to unite people and organizations through philanthropy and community engagement. The sculptures were part of the CFBC’s 25th anniversary celebration, funded in part by the Community Arts Endowment. The Walking Man, with its dynamic design and symbolic representation of progress, aligns with our mission to foster a thriving, connected community.
