Ohioan sculptor brice baughman carves famous Americans at home
Brice Baughman of Newark Ohio carved a growing hillside memorial park of heroic statues from G Washington to Garfield using only a mallet and chisel on silica stone. He began 35 years ago after childhood stone carving and plans one more monument to honor World War II. His 75 acre site is open to the public with picnic grounds and thousands of visitors yearly. He hopes to include a woman figure next, perhaps a Wave or a WAC.
