    OM Backroads Ep:81. 3 Ohio Roadside Attractions: Leatherlips Monument, Castalia Blue Hole and Strinkers Grove Amusement Park
    Jun 26 2025
    Hello and welcome to another episode of Ohio Mysteries Backroads. In tonight's episode we explore 3 Ohio roadside attractions with Backroads flair. When Ohio was still considered the countries frontier, legendary Wyandot leader "Leatherlips" helped broker peace deals with the European settlers. This didnt sit well with his fellow tribesman and would ultimately cost him his life. A striking monument stands today in his memory, evocative of the legendary "Sitting Bull" monument. Overlooking the Scioto Rive in Dublin, Ohio, this limestone monument stands today as a tribute to the legendary warrior chief. Traveling West, is the infamous "Blue Hole" of Castalia. Once rumored to have no bottom, this crystal clear pool dumps millions of gallons into the Sandusky Bay each day. Once attracting over 165,00 people each year, this location was closed in 1990 and is in private hands today. However, similar type pools are located close by that you can visit. You can even win a chance to be one of the lucky few to have a chance to visit the original park. Finally, did you know that Ohio had an amusement park that is only open 4 days a year? It has 2 roller coasters many smaller rides and games. Built by the Stricker family, you can attend (on one of the 4 days, you will have to listen to find out which 4).

    In 1977, a fire at the Beverly Hills Supper Club in Southgate, Ky. killed 165 people. More than half were from Ohio.
