This giant bucket is all that remains of Big Muskie.

Big Muskie was a coal-mining dragline excavator, longer than a football field, weighing 12,200 tons and standing nearly 22 stories tall. It operated in southeastern Ohio from 1969 to 1991.

It was the largest machine ever to move on land.

The 220 cubic yard bucket could hold two full size buses.

Farmstay in McConnelsville

"This is a great property for a little getaway. We were here from Mississippi and another family from Florida so we could visit more family in Marietta. This place is gorgeous. It had everything we needed. We cooked several meals here and utilized the convection oven and the Blackstone. The kitchen is extremely well stocked with pots and utensils. The coffee bar was a necessity and we greatly appreciated it! Will probably stay here again when we come back up! Also enjoyed the white farm cat...

"Very nice place with tons of amenities. We will definitely be staying again!"

5/5 Excellent

Great hotel

"First time staying there. It was a very nice hotel. The beds and pillows were very soft and comfortable. It was nice to have Dove soap in the shower and on the sink provided by the hotel. The hot tub was amazing, but the pool wasn't as warm as we would've liked it. Breakfast was really nice and the cinnamon rolls were the best."
