The Hartman Rock Garden is most definitely a unique roadside attraction. What started in 1932 by Ben Hartman as a concrete fishing pond, expanded into an entire mini world using thousands of stones, a myriad of plants, handmade figurines and one hell of an imagination. After Ben's passing in 1944, his widow, Mary took over his labor of love until her passing in 1997.
