The Weirdest Backyard in Ohio!
Wake up with Mister Lincoln in Illinois, and then cross several states as we make our way through Indiana and Ohio to Pennsylvania, but along the way, we can't help but stop somewhere truly bizarre, the weirdest backyard I've ever seen in Ohio, Ben Hartman's 1930s-1940s rock garden! See how one out of work factory man kept busy and created something that outlived him and inspires people of all ages on a daily basis in Springfield Ohio! And find out why Julio needs to cross the road!
