Unfortunate that they couldn't be incorporated into an existing attraction.

Decorations for a themed restaurant near a historical park?

Tourist trap "Garden of Presidents" attraction?

I can't imagine anyone spending the money, time, and energy at having the busts moved to one's private property. What was hoped to be gained?
