- Dover, Ohio - Ernest Warther and Son Carvings
Warther made knives but he also carved trains out of ivory, bone and wood. He was on the Tonight show when Carson was still the host. Warther is now dead but his museum is terrific. There is also a collection of his wife's buttons, they have wonderful gardens around the grounds as well as a gift shop to sell the knives that are still made. The trains are all accurate, historical trains, to exact scale. Well worth the visit, we took some friends from India and they were knocked out by the museum.
