Statue of Lenin

This bronze statue peers out over the street below, oblivious to the continuing controversy over its display. It was salvaged and brought over from Slovakia and was re-erected in 1995 in a Fremont parking lot that at the time hosted a weekly market before being moved a few years later to its current site.

Dusty Strings
Lots of acoustic, and mostly stringed, musical instruments. Go on in and try out a hammer dulcimer. Ask Olivia to try out a harp!

Waiting for the Interurban
A statue of five people (and a dog) waiting for the trolley that has not existed since the 1930s. The statue is frequently clothed by local residents. There was a time when this work was considered offbeat (imagine that!).

Fremont Troll
Strikingly large (photos generally don't do it justice), the Troll is a concrete statue under the Aurora Bridge clutching a full size Volkswagen Bug in its grip. The statue is notable enough to even gets its own street name - just off of N. 36th Street on Troll Avenue.
