According to a plaque on the premises, this horseshoe crab was originally made for the Columbus Center Maritime Museum in Baltimore, Maryland. The museum closed before it opened (financial reasons) and the crab was cut into 9 pieces and dismantled. It was then purchased for display at the "Creation Museum" in Kentucky, but turned out to be too big for the facility. It eventually was donated to the Freedom Worship Baptist Church for their use in a Creation-themed exhibit at their Freedom Hall in Blanchester, OH
