The Ohrmann Museum is a fascinating place to visit. The yard is filled with Bill Ohrmann's creations. This is a free museum and you are welcome to view, photograph and even sit on the Turtle.
According to Mrs. Ohrmann, Bill was a rancher and artist all of his life. Though he has produced some amazing sculptures, he now limits his creativity to painting that he sells in the gallery. As a note: all of the sculptures that are on display are "Not for Sale" and placed there purely for the enjoyment and appreciation of Mr. Ohrmann's talents.
Woolly Rhinocerous was created by talented artist Bill Ohrmann in 2007. It is made of welded steel plate. On the base is a small mouse undeterred by the Woolly Rhinocerous. This is a large sculpture about 6 feet in height and is located to the right of the gallery.
As a note: Coelodonta, better known as the Woolly Rhino, is one of the few Ice Age megafauna mammals to be memorialized in cave paintings. It was almost certainly hunting by the early humans of Eurasia that drove Woolly Rhino into extinction.
