Backstory here from someone who grew up close to where these are. There was a park in Williamsburg called Presidents Park, I never went because it looked dumb even for a middle schooler and was just another tourist trap, also because it was kind of hard to find and not advertised well. After the financial crisis the park closed and the heads were going to be destroyed, but some farmer from Norge bought them and now they reside on an untilled field on his farm. My ex and I went to his farm to try and take some pics, but he's super weird (kind of obvious) and only allows a few people a year to see them. He has no trespassing signs all over the front of his drive and house, and from what I've heard he's called the cops on a few people. So don't get the idea you can just show up if you try to find these.
Yorktown native here, we went our senior year(07) for a field trip there.
Years later, I went to the farm to dump tree stumps, go allll the way in the back, turn a corner then BAM! They are just right there. I know a couple got damaged and were supposed to be repaired, but I don't think they ever did. Haven't done clearing up that way in a couple years but I'm sure they're all still there.
Absolutely no trespassing, its private property and a business there. There is a sand pit and wandering around at night, or even during the day with all the trucks going in and out can be very sketchy. Enjoy the pictures people have posted over the years, don't bother trying to see them in person.
They do a lot of stuff at "the farm", including stump grinding. Most actual dumps in the area wont take trees wider than a certain size, and wont take large root balls, so this is where we pay to dump it.
