Prehistoric Forest [closed]
Marblehead, OH |

This Prehistoric Forest was built around 1963 - the same year as the twin Prehistoric Forest in Onsted, MI. Most of the dinosaurs and other creatures at both parks were built by James Sidwell. The Marblehead location also had a train ride and toy rifles for the kids to shoot at the monsters. In the 1980s, this location closed and the statues were vandalized over the years. When it reopened in the mid-1990s, the attraction was scaled back to a walking tour. The statues were restored and many new ones were added. A mini golf course was also added. In 2010, this place closed for good. In 2012, it was announced that the dinosaur statues and contents of the park would be sold at auction. For more, see 1 and 2.
