FAST, which stands for Fiberglass Animals, Shapes, and Trademarks, is in the business of creating larger-than-life fiberglass figures – the kind you see outside of kitschy roadside stops.

After using a mold to create a fiberglass figure, FAST discards it in the field behind its workshop.

FAST has molds left over from just about every job they’ve ever done, so the graveyard is filled with quite the variety.

There’s also the size. The molds are often bigger than the giant pieces they’re used to create!

Only adding to the site’s allure is the fact that many of the molds are weathered, which has resulted in a stone-like facade, making it seem as if the graveyard is the remnants of an ancient civilization.

Walking through the graveyard, free to visit and open to the public, which is filled with everything from mammoth mammals to giant dinosaurs, is sure to be a memorable trip.

Though FAST welcomes visitors, they do warn that you should be on the lookout for bee and wasp nests. Also, some molds have sharp edges, so make sure to use caution when exploring the grounds.
