The Apple Core is no longer on property. The management didn't know to where it was relocated. Regardless, there are many lovely outdoor sculptures to enjoy. Also, this property is home to Frank Lloyd Wright's Kentuck Knob house. An absolute treasure to see; book well ahead (months) as it is quite popular.
[David, 07/17/2023]I called the woman at the Registration Desk and she reported that the Apple Core is out for restoration. She didn't know when it would be returned.
[Dwight Berner, 09/03/2019]The Apple Core is a sculpture by famous artist Claes Oldenburg, so it probably won't be stuck for years in a garage somewhere.
The Claes Oldenburg apple core sculpture is out for restoration as of 5/5/2019.
