World's Largest Wren Statue

It's a giant bird statue... And contrary to what my sister always told people, is most definitely is NOT named after her - it was part of the WREN am Topeka radio station (1947-1993) that was out of Lawrence Kansas. The bird was once bought and scheduled to be moved to Branson Missouri, however it ended up staying and being restored by a local artist. Today it sits over at the intersection of Topeka Blvd and Huntoon (12th and Topeka), where if you want to pull off the road for a picture you most certainly can - but please be careful of motorvehicle traffic as this is a highly busy area no matter what day of the week it is - it IS, after all, just a giant concrete bird...

I was a nice quick stop spot on our X country trip. Statue is in good shape for being out doors. The park area has some street parking and is a decent area to walk around in.

Nice statue of a wren. But it’s a big claim to say this is the world’s largest. My buddy has one twice the size.

Fantastic experience!! Arrived right at sunset for some knee slapping photo ops with this hidden gem in Kansas! Would highly recommend to anyone passing by on I-70 :)

Probably not a lot of people interested in this statue although it has historical significance to Topeka. We were here to take my Mothers picture with the statue like she had done in 1950. Close to Kansas Capitol Bldg. Another point of interest.
