Pasaquan was built between 1957 through 1986 by Eddie Owens Martin, also known as St. EOM. It was restored by the Kohler Foundation and gifted to Columbus State University who maintains it. It’s in a peaceful spot, a bit off the beaten track, and I found it to be a quiet and relaxing place to hang around for a while. The groundskeeper, Charles, was friendly and welcoming as well as a good source of information about Pasaquan. The is the first of at least two posts.
