This place has to be seen to be believed! Pasaquan is an internationally recognized visionary art environment on a seven‑acre compound near Buena Vista, Georgia. It was created by eccentric folk artist Eddie Owens Martin (1908–1986), who called himself St. EOM. The site consists of six major structures, including a redesigned 1885 farmhouse, painted concrete sculptures, and four acres of painted masonry concrete walls. In September 2008, Pasaquan was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Martin inherited the land from his mother and, using proceeds earned from fortune telling, transformed the house and its surrounding grounds. In an article on the outsider artist, Tom Patterson describes Pasaquan as “one of the most remarkable folk art environments in America—a sort of mock pre‑Columbian psychedelic wonderland of brightly painted totems, curved and angled walls and walkways, and wildly ornamented structures that [Martin] called ‘temples’ and ‘pagodas.’” The site is maintained by the Pasaquan Preservation Society. In 2014, Columbus State University and the Kohler Foundation undertook the restoration of the site, and it reopened to the public in 2016.
