Ohio’s Whimsical Temple of Tolerance | Local Legends | Atlas Obscura
Meet Jim Bowsher, who has been building the Temple of Tolerance in the backyard of his home in Wapakoneta, Ohio, for decades. What is the Temple of Tolerance? It’s a rock garden and collection of outsider art started in 1981 when Bowsher decided to build a place that encouraged people of all walks and life to come together and feel accepted. From a sculpture known as the “Bully Eater” to a tube filled with shell casings representing every man or woman who died in a war from 1812 on, the Temple of Tolerance is filled with poignant stories that touch all who come across it.

We are the Haley Family!
Brian, Paige, Jake and Jen set out on weekly adventures and share them with YOU!! Our goal is to show you our adventures and hopefully inspire you go get out and create your own memories.
Our plans for the weekend did not work out, so we went on the hunt for a place to camp last minute. The only place with openings close to us was Wapakoneta KOA. We enjoyed our time at the campground. There are a few local attractions: Armstrong Air and Space Museum and the Airstream Factory. The Armstrong Air and Space Museum is by appointment only. The Air Stream Factory has tours Monday through Friday at 2 pm. Although we were not able to go to any of the local attractions, it was very nice to get out and camp.

From Kentucky to Wapakoneta Ohio
Our adventure continues on to Wapakoneta, Ohio. We had to check out a few of the antique stores on the way-some good, some not so good but we left with a few treasures.
Temple of Tolerance Amazing Rock Sculpture Garden Wapakoneta Ohio
Join me on a stroll through the most unique 'garden' you'll ever experience. The creation of artist and philosopher Jim Bowsher, this 'rock' garden took 18 years to create. Comprised of carefully arranged boulders, millstones, relics, found objects and antiquities, the garden is meant to be a place of peace for all who enter. Everyone is welcome in this oasis located within an unassuming neighborhood near downtown Wapakoneta.
Pictures truly do not do this unique place justice. It is a maze of reverent rock temples interspersed with whimsical installations. In a time when words like awesome and amazing are too frequently dispensed, those terms fall short in describing the Temple of Tolerance.
Make sure to also check out my video of the Hartman Rock Garden

We got lost in this guys suburban back yard
This is probably one of the strangest and most interesting places we have ever visited. In the birthplace of Neil Armstrong (Wapakoneta, Ohio), we explore the Suburban back yard of Jim Bowsher, self-described master of the Temple. Welcome to the Temple of Tolerance. He has spent 25 years building a very strange, yet very relaxing museum of 'stuff' in his back yard and is open 24x7 to the public. However, you'd never know as the house is just a plain old house in a plain old street. Come with us as we explore in awe at his creations!
