Symmes, who theorized that the earth was hollow and access to the core was through the polar caps; the Mansfield Reformatory, Ohio\'s largest and toughest Haunted house
Waynesville, home of the Ohio Sauerkraut Festival; and Harry Dearwester, the carny who guesses peoples\' weight with 90 percent accuracy.
He visits Fizzleville, Sodaville, and Footville; the hollow, metal globe that is the final resting place of Captain John C.
McNutt\'s vanishing Ohio is a place where rural America converges with small cities and fading history and disappearing culture, Lost to burgeoning technology, global economy, technological immediacy, and time.
His journeys rediscover missing pieces of our past that reflect a state of mind as well as a collection of landscapes.
In Lost Ohio McNutt, who has devoted his career to uncovering Forgotten Ohio and its spirited inhabitants, continues his Travels around the state in an attempt to discover vanishing traces of our lives--celebrations, motels, road art, drive-in theaters, traditions, inventions, folk tales, battlefields, and forts.
