Abraham Lincoln has a large hole in the back of his head. Ronald Reagan has a lightning-shaped scar. George Washington’s face is crumbling off. All of them, in addition to 40 other U.S. Presidents, sit in a desolate field in Croaker, Virginia, which serves as a graveyard of sorts for abandoned presidential statues.

The giant busts, which stand around 20-feet tall, were originally part of Presidents Park, a sculpture park and museum in Williamsburg, Virginia, which closed in 2010. Today, the eerie presidents, created by artist David Adickes, await their future on concrete businessman Howard Hankin’s 400-acre farm.

Though the busts are currently no longer available for public viewing, a few photographers, such as David Ogden, were granted access.

The statues’ exposure to the elements has brought weather-beaten character to their faces, which are still recognizable at first glance. “Reagan’s bust really grew on me,” said Ogden. “It was so charmingly real and photogenic.”

“When I first saw these busts in person, I couldn’t move,” said Ogden. “They were the ones staring at me, they felt alive.” Like Hankins, Ogden hopes to preserve the busts “for the kids.”

Though some of the statues are in poor condition, Hankins hopes the busts will become part of a new museum. He is currently running a GoFundMe page to raise money to open a new park in Williamsburg that he hopes “will draw in a larger crowd and help educate everyone about the lives of our great presidents.”
