H.G. Hartman's Rock Garden

Yes, this is actually someone's backyard. It was created in the 1930s by H.G. Hartman who died in 1944. Ben Hartman, who is the youngest son of H.G. Hartman, is currently residing at this property. According to a June 4th News-Sun story By Andrew McGinn, Ben Hartman is finding it hard to maintain the property, and he is interested in selling to someone who is willing to preserve the deteriorating works of art.

The Rock Garden is off McCain Avenue which is off of South Yellow Springs Street in Springfield Ohio.
