Rush County has some of the most productive and beautifully distinctive farmland in the nation.  The Little Blue, Big Blue and Flat Rock rivers provide scenic vistas along their meandering banks, surrounded by farms that at one time produced more hogs than any other U.S. county.

This icon features the geometry of a furrowed landscape divided by polished bronze inlays indicating vegetation.  There is a curved arc on the right that contrasts with the hard angles surrounding  it. The texture and lines of this piece are similar to those of sand. Vertical and horizontal curved lines make up the majority of this piece.

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.
