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!

"The room was clean and the staff members were very professional and kind. The highlight of my stay was the bartender that looked like he could be related to Dave Chappel! He was the bartender, the waiter, the bar back, the cashier, the host, heck he may have even been the cook…! LOL It may not have been conducive for someone that may have been in a rush however, my sister and I found it quite entertaining to watch this one man show! For him to be working by himself, he handled a restaurant with quite a few people quite well! Thanks for the kind service and positive vibes!"
