Pasaquan is a 7-acre (28,000 m2) compound near Buena Vista, Georgia. It was created by an eccentric folk artist named Eddie Owens Martin (1908–1986), who called himself St. EOM.[2] An internationally renowned art site, it consists of six major structures including a redesigned 1885 farmhouse, painted concrete sculptures, and 4 acres (16,000 m2) of painted masonry concrete walls.[3] In September 2008, Pasaquan was accepted for listing in the National Register of Historic Places.[1] Pasaquan was restored by the Kohler Foundation and Columbus State University between 2014 and 2016.[4]
