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

A presidential miniature golf course?
Decorations for a themed restaurant near a historical park?
" " RV park near a historical landmark.
Tourist trap "Garden of Presidents" attraction?

So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in?

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?
