On August 12, 1926, a nearly complete mastodon skeleton was found by tenant farmer James Bailey on the farm of Friend Butt in Johnstown OH.

The mastodon was in a six foot deep peat pit. The shallow depression was once a natural pond over which then property owner Friend Butt once skated on when he was a young boy.

A Newark, OH businessman bought the skeleton and subsequently sold it to the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, where it remains on display today.

It took them a mere 113 years since their founding to reach the pinnacle of their fame. One can only imagine what 2039 has in store!
