Expect The Unexpected is the official town motto of Lucas, a farming community in the Smoky Hills region of Kansas, population 436. The population swelled considerably as people from across the US and from around the world gathered recently to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Garden of Eden. Built in the early 1900's by Civil War veteran S. P. Dinsmoor. The Garden, which is listed in the National Register of Historic Places, consists of a stone log cabin home and a mausoleum where Dinsmoor and his first wife are buried. The site has over 150 huge cement sculptures depicting his interpretation of big business destroying small business along with some of his favorite Bible stories. And this tiny town has not one, but TWO outsider shrines, as well as a main street museum housing an incredible collection of Midwest American visionary art. And did we mention the shrine of repurposed mutant Barbie Dolls and the rolling museum of the worlds largest collection of the worlds smallest versions of the worlds largest things?
