Paul Bunyan and Babe Statues
Written by Stefanie LutzA large Statue of Paul Bunyan with a neutered Babe the Blue Ox is on site in downtown Ossineke, on US-23. This particular Paul has especially overinflated shoulders and biceps, the result, no doubt, of his prodigious tree-chopping.
A Bit of History
A tavern was once across the road, and a drunk shot off Babe's balls in the '50s. The same gun was used in a murder a week later. Babe's balls were never replaced.
Directions
Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox have been moved from Lookout Hill to the Southwest corner of US 23 and Nicholson Hill Road in Ossineke, Sanborn Township. Paul was lifted by crane today onto a flatbed trailer, lying on his back and fully intact. Babe was moved to the same new location in June. Sanborn Township has plans for a roadside park."
