History
The Ernest Warther Museum and Gardens in Dover, Ohio — an art and history museum whose origins Wikidata dates to May 10, 1936 — preserves the life's work of carver Ernest "Mooney" Warther, who hand-sculpted the evolution of the steam engine in ebony, ivory, and walnut. The museum keeps his home, studio, and carvings together on one site, presenting them as the legacy of a self-taught artist whose railroad subjects made him a singular figure in American folk carving.
