George Armstrong Custer Birthsite Memorial in Rumley Ohio

You know, I have been reading up on all of the odd, strange, unique, and heroic characters from the Civil War for some time now.  I literally have a "to visit" list of birth site, headquarters, and buildings relating to the Civil War and all of its major players.

Well, somehow, this one was not on my list.

Luckily, my pal John is up on these things too, and while hanging out with him not too long ago, he said that we needed to get to Rumley Ohio to visit the birth place of George Custer.

Rumley is a town that you have to want to get to, to get to.  It is not on the way to anywhere else.

There is a nice statue of Custer, and, at the foundation of his childhood home, there is a covered area with pictures and information on his life.

There is an old church that looks to be converted into a museum, but it was not open on the day we went.
