The giant heads of US presidents sit crumbling in a field in Virginia

George Washington watches over the crumbling presidents.

In a small field in the US, the giant effigies of 43 presidents sit crumbling.

The 18 to 20ft (5.5m-6m) busts are all that remain of Virginia's Presidential Park, which were inspired by Mount Rushmore in South Dakota.

They cost about $10m (£6.9m) to create.

But it went bust (pardon the pun) in 2010 due to lack of visitors.

Despite being asked to destroy the concrete heads, a local farm owner called Howard Hankins rescued them.

He moved them to his 400 acre farm where they stand today.

The busts weighed up to 9,000kg each so it wasn't an easy task.

This is one of the photos.

Each of the 43 heads weighed between 11,000-20,000 pounds, (4,989-9,071kg), and the process of transporting them cost $50,000 (£34,669), according to the Smithsonian.

In the move, the busts were inevitably damaged - noses broken and heads cracked - leading to their worse for wear appearance today.

The busts were broken in the neck and at the top of their heads in order for a crane to load them onto a truck

Hawkins' field isn't officially open to visitors - he told the Smithsonian that he lacks a tourist attraction licence.

But he is working to raise money to restore the busts and rebuild the museum.

He's started a Facebook page and called it the Williamsburg Presidential Museum Project.

Mr Hawkins is now looking for financial assistance to resurrect the busts.

"This project will benefit Williamsburg, the state of Virginia and the people that visit," it reads.

"Plans include a new facility with exhibits featuring an Oval office, Presidential transportation, The White House, First ladies, a secret service and covert ops area and other Presidential documents and memorabilia."
