A reporter who visited the garage in which the Indian Head Rock is stored in 2015 described its current setting. "
There it squats in the county garage in Greenup, eight tons of sandstone surrounded by worn-out tractor tires and crusted with four years worth of cobwebs and grit.
The trouble is, no one knows where else to put it.
It's too bulky and heavy to move without heavy equipment and not pretty enough to capture admiring glances...There was talk of putting it in a park in South Shore, near where the rock was lifted from the water.
Greenup County Judge-Executive Bobby Carpenter still thinks that is a good idea, although he's not sure about the details.
Whether the rock would be better displayed al fresco or under a roof is debatable, he said.
And if a structure is to be built, could South Shore afford it?

Until those questions, and others, are answered, the rock likely will remain in its garage limbo."

In April 2019, Greenup County Judge-Executive Bobby Carpenter announced plans to spend up to $5,000 for a gazebo and concrete pad upon which to display the Indian head Rock in a South Shore park.
Carpenter expressed concern that the sandstone surface of the boulder is "exhibiting signs of fragility."
The plan to display the rock will include "some means of securing the rock from mischief" since it "could be vulnerable to vandals."
