According to Atlas Obscura, Thompson’s son pays homage to his father by hosting the annual Whiskey Creek Music Festival every summer.

A few famous faces have also been photographed with his pieces on the property.

They include: Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell as well as the author of the Harry Potter series J.K. Rowling.

The Folk Art Farm property hosts an Airbnb—which allows folk art enthusiasts ample time to take in all the whimsical creations.
