MAY

2019

May 5–11 is Travel and Tourism Week, and while you could spend all seven days visiting popular destinations such as Niagara Falls, Mount Rushmore, or the Grand Canyon, you could also pile into the car and take the path less traveled to see some of America’s odd and awesome roadside attractions. In Houston, Texas, you’ll find the home of John Milkovisch. Back in 1968, he grew tired of mowing the lawn, so he decided to landscape his yard entirely in brick, marbles, concrete, rock, and wood. He didn’t stop there: Milkovisch continued to cover his house entirely in siding made from aluminum beer cans. For the next 18 years, he used an estimated 50,000 beer cans to both insulate and decorate his home. The “Beer Can House” is not just a monument to the power of recycling, but it is an artistic center complete with guided tours and a gift shop. If you’re interested in giant-sized sculptures, options abound along America’s highways. Thirty-foot-tall dinosaurs loom above Interstate 10 south of Palm Springs, California.

An 80-foot-long blue whale rests in a lagoon along Route 66 in Catoosa, Oklahoma. Two giant milk bottles are all that remain of the Benewah Dairy Company of Spokane, Washington. The Longaberger Basket Company of Newark, Ohio, spent $30 million to build its headquarters in the shape of a seven-story picnic basket with two 150-ton handles. (The Longaberger Company has since vacated the property but the unique building still remains.) For those with an itch to see the exotic, you can find a replica of the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Niles, Illinois, but it’s only half as tall and half as leaning. A small-scale replica of China’s Forbidden City exists in Katy, Texas, complete with a miniature army of 6,000 tiny terra-cotta soldiers. You need travel no farther than Lake Havasu City, Arizona, to see the London Bridge. Oil baron Robert McCulloch moved all the pieces of the “fallen down” London Bridge to Arizona and put them together again as a ploy to draw tourists, which it has for almost 50 years.
