Stan, Thank you for commenting. I found out about this place after watching a YouTube video on Top 10 Towns to Retire or Live on $1500 in the Southern United States. Calhoun, GA was #4. I checked Trip Advisor and The Rock Garden was #1 for Things To Do.

Loc: Stillwater, OK
On a recent trip to Colorado we happened upon an attraction called Bishop’s Castle which looked a lot like these miniatures but in real size. Fellow named Jim Bishop has been building it for almost 60 years. Located near Rye, Colorado. Apparently the federal government has had him in court numerous times over the construction. Google Bishops Castle if interested. Found it quite impressive.

Thank you for the information.....very interesting....like Mr. Bishop said, “every man wants a castle.”
