The Volland History, Nature, and Sculpture Trail
&
M.T. Liggett Sculpture Park
The Trail | Learn about Volland's history, engage with nature and see sculptures by Mark McHenry on the Volland History, Nature, and Sculpture Trail. Each season brings its own pleasures at Volland. McHenry, an architect and sculptor, gifted several sculptures created over his lifetime to Volland between 2020 and 2024. Their materials - iron, wood, stone, and found objects - resonate with the Flint Hills and its culture.
Sculpture Park |
Walk behind the Old Store and find eight M.T. Liggett sculptures, gifted by the Kohler Foundation in 2024. These works, placed in the M.T. Liggett Sculpture Park, represent the long history of art in Kansas, as well as visible place for Liggett's work to inspire thought and generate conversation at Volland.
