Perry County contributes to Indiana’s preserved open wilderness with approximately 60,000 acres of the Hoosier National Forest. The Cannelton Locks and Dam, built between 1963 and 1974, assist barges in their navigation of the Ohio River along Perry County’s southern border.

This piece depicts schooling fish waiting patiently in two lock chambers as if they were waiting to be lowered. There is a striking contrast between the hard lines of the sculpted lock and the flowing, organic shapes of the fish.

Designers Jeff Laramore and David Jemerson Young of 2nd Globe, an Indianapolis–based artistic company, designed all 92 of the county sculptures featured on the outside of the Indiana State Museum. Their designs narrate the counties’ famous natives, historically significant events, or their cultural characteristics, and were fabricated and installed by various Indiana sculptors, carvers, glassworkers, metalworkers, and other artisans.
