Vollis Simpson Whirligig Park

Wilson, NC

More than two dozen enormous kinetic sculptures by North Carolina folk artist Vollis Simpson fill this downtown park. Built from salvaged industrial parts, reflectors, fans, gears, and metal scraps, the towering whirligigs spin and flash whenever the wind catches them.
