From Roadside America Website:

Dedicated on July 4, 1973, Hoss's ample noggin has been preserved for posterity in a life-size bronze bust by artist Glenna Goodacre.

The park is on the same block as a shuttered business labeled "BLOCKER," apparently the old family grocery store. The plywood covering the entrance features a hand painted "Hoss" hat.

Across the street is the O'Donnell Museum, with a Dan Blocker Room that displays some Hoss memorabilia.

The Museum wasn't open when we stopped by. Hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to Noon and 1 to 4 p.m., and Sunday, 1-4 p.m

Price of Admission: 0.00 (listed in local currency)
