Description: the big Orange Dinosaur Route 1 miniature golf, Saugus, MA 1958-2015 A memory lane art print of the orange dinosaur on route 1 in Saugus, Mass. from an original watercolor painting by William B. MacGregor Jr, who is known in the New England area as the Junkyard Artist. ------------------------------------------------------- While traveling along route 1 in Saugus MA there is a Day-Glo orange T-Rex gazing over the highway. This famous icon is known as “the orange dinosaur” and located on the sixth hole at Route 1 Miniature Golf. Along with miniature golf, the business includes batting cages, arcade and soft-serve at the Dairy Castle. Highway signs for the Route 1 Miniature Golf have for decades made the course hard to miss. Route 1 Miniature Golf always maintained a look of a 1950s old-fashioned miniature golf. Some of the features were Humpty Dumpty, dinosaurs, a horse stallion, windmill and the Calabrese's wishing well. A friendly elephant stood watching over the 18th hole and golfers hopefully would ring the siren and receive a magic free pass. This allowed you to come back one more time and play for free. During the 70’s Dianne and Richard Fay purchased the golf course from her uncle. Who, in 1958 originally built route 1 miniature golf. Holes featuring stonework were built by the original owner's cousin who was a mason from Italy. Sadly Route 1 miniature golf course closed in 2015. But the good news is the orange dinosaur is still watching over route 1. Art Print of the famous dinosaur at route 1 miniature golf, Saugus, MA.
