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!

"This property was more than I could have ever expected! It looks like something out of HGTV. It’s absolutely gorgeous and so many tiny unique details. The beds are very comfortable, lots of towels in the gorgeous bathroom and the kitchen is fully stocked with everything for preparing meals. Unfortunately we were only staying for one night but I will absolutely be booking here again! Things to keep in mind tho, the top floor bedroom with 2 beds has VERY steep and narrow steps so if you have...

"The house was just what we needed for our weekend stay in Columbus. It was very clean and had nice big bedrooms to sleep our large group including little ones with pack-in-plays. We enjoyed the deck outside. The location was very close to the highway, so it made travel to our destinations easy.The house was uncomfortably warm when we arrived, but the owner had left fans running upstairs, which we appreciated. Jordan was very responsive to my messages. My only suggestion to others guests is to...

"The room was very cozy and clean😌smelled clean as well. The bed was very comfortable and I appreciate the 40”TV😃. Only downside was it didn’t have a small fridge or a microwave but I would definitely stay there again 😃. I didn’t get a chance to go to the pool but I will next time 😁"

10/10 Excellent

"Our room was quiet. No outside noise that bothered us. There was construction on the hotel site but inconvenience was minimal. Cheeseburger from restaurant was too sloppy to hold. Had to eat it with a fork and knife. Who does that? Breakfast omelet was lacking. My servers during both meals were excellent though. "
