It is a rock garden built by Ed Leedskallinin, a Latvian immigrant.
He built it for the love of his life who called off the wedding and left him heart broken.
He spent 20 years of his life building this as a tribute to the life they never had together.
The exceptional thing about it is that he built it by himself using very simple tools.
It was interesting to see.
Sweet, sad, and a little weird.
The kids loved it.
Afterwards we visited a local farm and had fresh fruit milkshakes.
The entrance. It had a special bell that you were supposed to ring twice.
Meet Ed. He was 5 feet tall and 100 pounds.
The princess of the castle.
A aerial view of the rock garden.
Planets and the moon.
The bedroom which contained a his and her bed, 2 child size beds, and a cradle.This was the sweet and sad part.
Noah trying out the tub. Perfect fit. Ed would fill it up with water. By the end of the day it would be nice and warm.
Ed built a "repentance corner" where children would go when they were naughty.
