Description: The Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox statues in Bemidji, Minnesota, are iconic landmarks that celebrate the legendary folklore of Paul Bunyan, a giant lumberjack, and his equally enormous blue ox, Babe. Erected in 1937, these statues have become a beloved tourist attraction, symbolizing the rich logging history and cultural heritage of the region. Standing at 18 feet tall, Paul Bunyan is depicted with his trusty axe, while Babe, his faithful companion, stands beside him, both figures capturing the imagination of visitors with their larger-than-life presence. The statues are not only a tribute to the mythic tales of American folklore but also serve as a whimsical reminder of the area's historical connection to the lumber industry.
