    At least you got the number of acres correctly, Nancy Gene:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pasaquan

    "Pasaquan is a 7-acre (28,000 m2) compound near Buena Vista, Georgia. It was created by an eccentric folk artist named Eddie Owens Martin (1908–1986), who called himself St. EOM. An internationally renowned art site, it consists of six major
    structures including a redesigned 1885 farmhouse, painted concrete sculptures, and 4 acres (16,000 m2) of painted masonry concrete walls. In September 2008, Pasaquan was accepted for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. Pasaquan was
    restored by the Kohler Foundation and Columbus State University between 2014 and 2016..."


    "President Jimmy Carter visited the site in the early 1980s. In 2015, the Pasaquan Preservation Society won the Governor's Award for the Arts and Humanities for its work on Pasaquan. In 2016, CNN recommended Pasaquan as a tourist destination. In
    2019, Atlanta recommended Pasaquan as a folk art destination..."

    "In 2004, the Pasaquan Preservation Society solicited the Kohler Foundation for help in maintaining Pasaquan. The project was accepted in 2014. The Kohler Foundation collaborated with Columbus State University to restore Pasaquan's art. After two
    years of work, the site was re-opened to the public on October 22, 2016..."

    And so it goes.

    IOW: It's a junk yard.
    No it isn't


    Not to

    Not to art lovers and critics around the world.

    HTH and HAND.
