Field of Corn (with Osage Orange Trees) was created in 1994 by Pittsburgh Artist, Malcolm Cochran. The site chosen for the piece by Dublin, OH was once owned by Sam Frantz, a pioneer in corn hybridization. To honor this endeavor, Cochran placed 109 concrete ears of corn, each approximately six feet high, into the ground in even rows. The resulting piece refers naturally to a cornfield, but closely resemble the identical white grave markers in Arlington National Cemetery - a fitting tribute to the destruction of Ohio's agricultural land and rampant Urban Sprawl. The Osage Orange trees further the farming metaphor. Dating back to the 19th century, the row provided natural fencing for farmers and delineated the region. Affectionately known by the locals as "Cornhenge", it comes complete with a flock of Geese Druids.

Dublin features 1,000 acres of parks, including 77 miles of scenic bike trails and 39 developed parks with wooded natural areas and river frontage. Several Dublin parks are located along the Scioto River, including the two Dublin Kiwanis Riverway parks. The river is accessible at several points for small watercraft, and the nearby Griggs and O'Shaughnessy reservoirs allow motorboating and sailing.
Several of Dublin's parks are home to a unique assortment of outdoor sculptures--part of the Art in Public Places collection, established by the Dublin Arts Council. In 1989, the Council developed the program to enhance the quality of life for residents, and to establish a public art tour throughout the City to attract visitors. It has since become a nationally recognized program. The series includes a 12 ft tall stone portrait of local legend, "Leatherlips" (the Wyandot Native American Chief known for the strength of his word); Field of Corn-- featuring 109 human-sized cement ears of corn that seem to sprout from one Dublin field; and a copper house that honors the region's native American culture.
