Wapakoneta, Ohio: The Temple of Tolerance

The Armstrong Air and Space Museum is the obvious choice as the best spot for tourists in Wapakoneta, Ohio.

Talk about a hard act to follow.

But what's second?

According to the tourism guide, it's "The Temple of Tolerance." This is one odd attraction.

The Temple essentially is a rock garden, placed in an oddly shaped piece of land behind a house. There are literally millions of pounds of rocks on the property. The main "pile" is toward the back, which offers a good view of the area - although the trees, etc. make it a little difficult to have the full view.

I suppose the idea is for people to come into a peaceful spot and do some thinking. We didn't talk to the owner, and frankly found the whole place a little creepy. But TripAdvisor has no rankings below three stars, so apparently this sort of attraction has an audience.

Roadside America has this story on the place. We also have a bird's-eye view from a drone; it may not have sound:
