Doll's Head Trail

Doll's Head Trail
Atlanta, Georgia (GA), US
When the South River Brick Company stopped digging up the famous Georgia clay to fire their bricks, the industrial site was left to be taken over by the natural world. The brickwork’s clay pits were so deep, when they filled in with rainwater it created a system of ponds now known as Constitution Lakes.

The Doll’s Head Trail was the work of a carpenter named Joel Slaton, who envisioned an art project created from discarded doll parts & other trash that was scattered around the site. He encouraged visitors to contribute their own found art, and it’s been collecting there ever since.
