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!

"Good location, older building so wall and windows are thin. If you are expecting that then this place is great. Spacious with lots of windows. Only other downfall was the kitchen lacks a toaster and kettle "

5/5 Excellent

Cleaning lady

"The stay very nice. The only thing we found odd was that we had placed the do not disturb placard outside our room and, what we think was the cleaning lady, opened the door. We were getting ready and heard a knock at the door and before we coukd get to the door, she used her card to open the door. She saw us and said "oh i thought you were gone." We thought it was weird considering the sign outside our door. We left the room shortly after, and took the sign off to have the room cleaned but when we returned later that night, the room had not been done at all. "
