The One and Only Hippie Memorial, created by the late Bob Moomaw, is a unique 62-foot-long artwork located in downtown Arcola, Illinois. Celebrating Moomaw's life through a vivid display that spans his experiences from the Great Depression to the rise of the hippie movement, the memorial serves as a testament to the colorful and tumultuous history of American culture.
Despite Moomaw's passing in 1998, the memorial remains a significant local attraction, reflecting his unapologetic spirit and commentary on society. Nestled near the railroad tracks on North Oak Street, it invites visitors to explore the unconventional side of Arcola, a town also known for its quirky attractions like Rockome Gardens and its annual broomcorn festival.
