The Orange Show is a folk-art environment built single handedly from 1956 until its completion in 1979, by the late Jefferson Davis McKissack, a Houston postal worker. The outdoor 3,000 square foot environment is considered one of the most important folk-art environments in the US.

Take your time...get to know the show. It will speak to you if you let it.
The monument is an ode to the orange , the artist 's favorite fruit . Postman Jeff McKissack built this maze of walkways using found objects from 1956, and finished it in 1978 almost by himself.
Super folk art place to discover with kids or take in a cool concert or make art car trophies or attend the Art Car Ball.
Strange and wonderful. Jeff would be proud.
Working hard at the Orange Show today.....
