Monroe, Ohio - Giant Jesus Statue - Old West Town?

We pass by the Solid Rock Church and the Giant Jesus fairly frequently. A few trips ago we spotted a smaller, less noticeable feature on the property. Hidden at the edge of the woods there appears to be a mock-up of an old west town, fallen into disuse. The creepiest thing about it is that there seems to be a guard tower. It's got the oogy compound vibes about it, and when we drove into the parking lot for a closer look, a crew that had been planting on the bank near Jesus began to approach our car. I've yet to find out what that weird little building is or why it has a guard tower. [anonymouse, 06/07/2006]

Monroe, Ohio - Ohio Giant Jesus

You already have this one...just wanted to add some of the local nicknames (like "Butter Jesus" for the butter-carved look and light yellow color, and "Quicksand Jesus" for the imploring look he is giving to the heavens as he sinks out of sight...) [Laura, 01/19/2006]
