Columbus Uncovered - Clark John

A long-lost, world-class amusement park … huge replicas of the world’s biggest wonders … a 1903 stage play with eight galloping horses.  Columbus has had its share of odd attractions over the years.  And scandals, too - the fake drug that led to the formation of the Food and Drug Administration … the 19th century pharmacist who loved to sunbathe nude atop his castle … the early visit of an airship that led to a riot.  And many curiosities are still with us today – a neighborhood with 50 Frank Lloyd Wright-style homes … a blind, high school marching band … a company that makes burglar-proof burial vaults.  Columbus Uncovered reveals dozens of the most-unusual chapters in our city’s history.  You’ll find them all fascinating.
