Columbus, Ohio - Ohio Historical Society's Two-Headed Calf

I remember from trips during my childhood that there was a two-headed calf at the Ohio Historical Society, a horrendously ugly building built when aesthetics were, at best not important and at worst warped beyond modern comprehension.

My first stop in Columbus was at the Historical Center to find the calf. I called ahead to make sure it was still available to view without going into the quaint Ohio Village, a 19th century museum town now only open for special occasions. The calf has been moved into the main museum, along with an Egyptian mummy that has some odd tie to Columbus. Those two things are the only things available for view in the center of the museum at the Relics and Curiosities section. [Duncan Busser, 09/21/2007]
