This 2040 foot long lettering is considered to be one of the largest in the world.
It was originally planted in the 1930's after Beman Dawes noticed planes flying over on-route to and from Port Columbus Airport. Over time the original plants became unmanageable, and were replanted in the early 1990's with Woodward American arborvitae.
Part of the driving tour of the grounds winds right though the lettering, and there is an observation tower where one can stop to get a better view.
