RED GRAVE MUSEUM INC

TELL CITY, IN

Christ the Redeemer on the Ohio Move over, Rio de Janeiro. There is a big statue of Christ, with arms outstretched, here too. Most Indianans and Kentuckians have no idea that this statue exists. The figure rises above an Indiana hill, which overlooks a sparsely populated area of the Ohio River. On the other side of the river is the Kentucky shoreline. 

Although I wish it were facing my camera with the river at its back, the Christ statue understandably faces crewmen of passing riverboats. No riverboats were passing or even on the horizon when I visited.
