Charles Herndon Gallery and Sculpture Garden — Attraction in Kelleys Island

Phenomenonal, unique, lovingly created works of art by a master, professor, island native. Display is professional level, impressive in this locale. Stonework from local rocks transformed into living, evocative, contemplative pieces. Brass and metalwork, paint, photography. Staffed by the artist with on-premises studio. Very friendly and relaxed on picturesque grounds, great part-day excursion about 10 minute golf cart ride from the bustling metropolis of downtown Kelleys Island village. No entry fee. Many pieces available for sale. Don't regret it, make your way here on your next day trip or vacation to Kelleys Island and bring home a nurdle. I have 3 smaller pieces, 2 stone and a brass, very handsome mantel or tabletop conversation...

An amazing sculpture garden with incredible works of art across a broad spectrum of mediums. Step into one of the galleries and see even more intricate works carved in stone, glass, wood, as well as vivid paintings! If you're lucky you'll catch Chuck hard at work on a new piece he might just divulge where he gets his inspiration. Stopping at the Charles Herndon art gallery is an absolute must if you make it...

Interesting outdoor display of the artist's work. Clearly different phases of the artist's journey - metal, cement, rock. I especially liked the rock pieces - clearly a significant effort to use natural glacial erratics and sculpt them into interesting and beautiful representations. The garden is way out on the back roads of the east edge of the island but a nice addition to our day on...
