American Statesmanship Park - Houston (TX)

5 /5 Bruce K.: Stuck in stop-and-go traffic on the interstate, I was able to enjoy this park at 5 to 10 miles an hour. A surprising little bright spot in an otherwise frustrating afternoon and affectionately nicknamed "Mount Rush Hour" (like Mount Rushmore but with traffic). The park has 18 foot tall busts of George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Stephen F. Austin, and Sam Houston. (Yes, for you non-Texans, the cities of Austin and Houston are named after those last two.) The park is operated by Harris County and these artworks by sculptor David Adickes were added in 2012. He titles them, "A Tribute to American Statesmanship." Enjoy if youre going slow. Or if you want a better look, the park is open to the public but not directly accessible from the interstate.

5 /5 Chanbo Keo: Beautiful sculptures indeed. But the park sits in an approximate of 5000 sqft ft lot, next to a condensed residential neighborhood. I wish the sculpture would sit in a better location instead ♥️

5 /5 Bobbi Marie Heisley: Pretty cool little park. Interesting why they have these bust.statues...hidden to. Just by chance I noticed it from the highway.

4 /5 jeff fisher: Always entertaining for its unique location. Backing right up to a residence, its nearly impossible to get a good photo of the statue by itself (thus my "only" 4-stars).

4 /5 Micah Ashby: Its a great site to see from the freeway and not too bad when actually seeing it in person. Theres nothing else here though. No real parking area and just a small walking strip in front of the busts.
