Pasaquan Guide

Pasaquan is what happens when a self-declared prophet spends 30 years and every dollar he can find painting his own visionary religion across seven acres of rural Georgia. Eddie Owens Martin — who called himself St. EOM — transformed his mother’s farmhouse and grounds into a psychedelic compound of temples, painted walls, totemic figures, and mandalas in blazing reds, yellows, and blues, a full-immersion folk-art masterwork built from the 1950s until his death in 1986. Restored and open to the public, it’s one of the most important and least expected outsider-art sites in America, hidden down back roads in Marion County where almost nobody thinks to look.
