This Mother Bear sculpture is in a roundabout located in Madras, Oregon. Christopher Buffalo Folsom created this work of art. Can you spot all three of the mother bear’s cubs?
Mother Bear in Madras, Oregon: Saturday Sculpture

Nature, history, & culture in Bend & beyond
We used to drive through Madras on our way to and from Montana. I have always been curious about how a small town in Oregon would come to share its name with a city in India.
According to the Wikipedia page, it’s unclear why the name was adopted. It’s still a small town, but it’s slowly growing and including more artwork. I was there on a garden tour. 😀
That’s a massive scale! Whoa! Thanks for contributing.
Yeah, they’re pretty big! You’re welcome. 🙂
These are so cool I have to take my grandkids to see this on my next visit to Oregon
Yes, they are! Hope your grandkids enjoy seeing them one day.
