Paul Bunyan statue in Bangor, Maine
Another 31-foot (9.4 m) statue can be found in Bangor, Maine. Standing since 1959, it weighs 3700 pounds.[2] The statue is shown with a large ax in one hand, and a peavey in the other hand.[2]
When the 26-foot "Muffler Man" Paul Bunyan was erected in front of a local lumber business in the 1980s, the town objected to the statue, citing that it was a violation of town codes given its substantial height. Finding no limitation on flagpole height on the books, the owners of the statue replaced Bunyan's axe with an American flag.[4]
