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 is just a great 3-bedroom home that’s comfortable, well-furnished and equipped and the exact kind of place that makes travel easy. The hosts are fantastic, communicate just the right amount and make it so easy too. The location was ideal for us, and the neighborhood is quiet and very family-oriented. I could not be happier with our stay and hope to stay there in the future! "

"Very cute space. Baltimore is a quiet little town, and this property matches that energy. The hosts are very attentive and helpful, and provided some local spots to check out. This is a one bedroom space, which worked perfectly for our family as our daughter is younger, but definitely more ideal for couples. We didn’t spend much time there, but it was nice having a cozy spot to relax after a long day. Would definitely stay again!"

"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.

Jordan was very responsive to my messages. My only suggestion to others guests is to...
