The Iron Man statue[1] is located at the entrance to the Minnesota Discovery Center 1.28 kilometers outside in Chisholm, Minnesota. It is 81 ft tall (25 m) including the 36-foot-tall figure (11 m), and was completed in 1987 out of iron ore. It is accompanied by a plaque with the The Emergence of Man Through Steel poem and is said to be the world's largest iron man.[citation needed] It was created by Jack E. Anderson of Lake Linden, Michigan, who also created a Bishop Baraga sculpture in L'Anse, Michigan.[2][3]
