North Carolina's Vollis Simpson's Whirligigs


And, you can still go by Simpson's shop, where he created those neat whirligigs. It is located about 3 miles from Lucama, NC, going toward Wilson off Highway 301.

I understand, there are still a few of the whirligigs there, but in need of repair.

During World War II, he served as a combat engineer in the Pacific Theater. After the war, he operated a building moving company for awhile, then ran a farm equipment repair place.
