Petersen Rock Garden and Museum is a unique tourist attraction located in Redmond, Oregon. It was created by Rasmus Petersen, a Danish immigrant who started building the rock garden in 1935 as a hobby and a way to cope with the loss of his daughter. The garden features over 500 sculptures, structures, and buildings made entirely out of rocks, shells, and petrified wood that Petersen collected from all over Oregon.

The garden covers approximately four acres and includes a miniature replica of the Notre Dame Cathedral, a lighthouse, a castle, a train, and many other impressive rock structures. Visitors can walk through the various paths and admire the intricate details of the sculptures, waterfalls, and ponds.
