1952 vs. 2020: First Final Resting Place of Man O’War

Slide
Man O'War's first final resting place at Faraway Farm

Here is the original location of the Man O’War memorial superimposed on a Google Earth screenshot from 2020 and compared to 1952. There is a structure laying flat on the ground seen in many current aerial photos just to the east of the statue’s original location. I do not know what this is as it only starts showing up around 2019 in other aerials. [Google Maps]

Here’s a larger version of both images – 1950s and TODAY.

This area is located in his former paddock area near his second barn on the former Faraway Farm. To the northeast about 1000 yards away is the location of his first stallion barn on what is now Mt. Brilliant Farm. The bell was restored and relocated to a place of prominence nearby. The barn can be see in this beautiful drone flyover video starting at 3:10.
