Roadside America.

[Fizz]

The Library of Congress has published over 11,000 of roadside attractions.

So...
How many have you seen?

Is this just a collection of pictures? Is there any way to arrange them geographically or see them on a map?

Da Yoopers Tourist Trap in Ishpeming, Michigan is one of my favorites.

This is Big Ernie, one of many items on display, including a V8 chainsaw and other interesting items. Lots of tourist trap stuff in their gift shop but clean restrooms and free cold water and all the displays are free.



There is a Offbeat Tourist Attractions point of interest file at the http://www.poi-factory.com/ for your GPS with over 20,000 places listed.

Too many to count - 100s of them. DW & I love a lot of that old '20s-60s roadside kitsch and won't hesitate to go out of our way for a visit.

There's more than one website devoted to America's great roadside attractions. Our favorite is, appropriately enough, Roadside America:

I cannot let my wife see that site! We have to see every pieces of redneck tras....uh, art that exists as it is.

I use that site on every trip...to see what we will pass and if it's worth it to stop. Sometimes, we even go a few miles (or more) out of the way for a fun photo.

If you are in Mercer, WI. Check out the giant loon right on Highway 51. There is also a giant loon statue in Wawa Ontario.

I've seen the big Muskie in Hayward WI. RV Hall of Fame Elkhart IN, John Deere site in IL.
I'm sure there are many others.

Great. More stuff on the bucket list.

I'm pretty sure this is on there.

Cool website. Thanks for posting. :C

I flipped through a few pages and found a couple I've seen and a whole bunch I want to see.

[fj12ryder]

Seven.

Too many to number, and too many to list. But out of everything, my most favorite is still the pink elephant in Fortville, Indiana on Highway 36 which is only about 15 miles from my house: Clicky!

I love this guy!
