Meet Jim Bowsher, who has been building the Temple of Tolerance in the backyard of his home in Wapakoneta, Ohio, for decades. What is the Temple of Tolerance? It’s a rock garden and collection of outsider art started in 1981 when Bowsher decided to build a place that encouraged people of all walks and life to come together and feel accepted. From a sculpture known as the “Bully Eater” to a tube filled with shell casings representing every man or woman who died in a war from 1812 on, the Temple of Tolerance is filled with poignant stories that touch all who come across it.
