We drove through Rockford, Illinois on a road trip back in 2019. These guys popped up as a roadside attraction and it was worth a quick detour but they were not that easy to find. Just off the Rock River bike path near the Nicholas Conservatory you will find them, serenely and sternly guarding the Rock River.
Made of granite boulders, the 12 foot figures are held together with cement and were created by Terese Agnew in 1987. Unique and original, the guardians will no doubt be here long after we are gone.
