Jacob W. Boody was an eccentric farmer and artist based in Oneida, New York in the mid-to-late 1800s. He was an avid collector and filled his home with unusual curiosities and treasures. For just 25 cents he invited people into his home to not only view his collection but also he shared his knowledge and history of his artifacts.
