Celtic Cross - Cannelton, IN

On your way to our from Blue Heron Vineyard and Winery, you will see a sign for the Celtic Cross.  It is right along your driving path, and a short walk from where you are asked to park the car.

This sandstone cross was commissioned by owner Gary and Lynn Dauby and carved by Greg Harris.  Harris a local individual who has created many works for the Blue Heron Winery and is a self-taught sculptor.  This piece is was created from a single 22 foot tall stone that is a natural part of the hillside. 

This sculpture has been featured in several documentaries and films and is believed to be the largest "In situ" Celtic Cross in the world.  Certainly worth the stop if you are in the area.

Harris spent 6 days a week for 23 months carving this piece.
