Where Sculpture Meets Fire

Step into Indiana’s wild, fiery art wonderland: Sculpture Trails Outdoor Museum, where over 200 cast-iron sculptures blaze through a forest like living sculptures forged in fire. Founded in 2002 by artist Gerry Masse, who turned his family land into a free, open-air gallery for his mom’s walks, it’s now a global destination where art, nature, and molten metal collide. Artists from around the world melt iron at 3,000°F to craft monumental pieces, and the site keeps evolving—old sculptures get remelted into new ones. Accessibility is key, with recent visits by students with disabilities highlighting how immersive, sensory-rich art can be. Every July, metal arts interns join the foundry, and on the 25th, the public gets hands-on: watch artists at work and try forging your own sculpture at Fire@Nite.
