Ohio park, collection of statues to be auctioned
FRAZEYSBURG: A man who owns a hillside park with giant sandstone sculptures of Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt and other famous Americans said he's selling the property so the artwork can be better preserved.
The sculptures in Baughman Memorial Park need to be restored and repainted, said Kevin Morehouse, 35, who bought the park for $310,000 in February. A statue of Civil War general William Tecumseh Sherman is missing its head, and other statues show varying degrees of wear and tear, he said.
Morehouse, who owns a logging company, said he bought the park to serve as his family's private retreat but soon realized he had no idea how to care for it.
