Vollis Simpson Whirligig ParkFarm machinery repairman Vollis Simpson began making gigantic kinetic sculptures at his family farm in Wilson County when he was nearing retirement age. He kept making his "whirligigs" seven days a week until about six months before he died at the age of 94 in May of 2013.
