Anamosa youth Archie Boffeli, 9, and Carson Wild, 11, demonstrate just how tall the statue is. The artwork will be on display through next spring.
The 25-foot “God Bless America” statue was erected the morning of June 12 near downtown Anamosa. The artist was inspired by Grant Wood’s “American Gothic.” By Tuesday afternoon, visitors from Linn and Cedar counties stopped in Anamosa to take in the sight. (Photos by Hannah Gray)
