Results: Oddest Landmarks in Every State (Part Four)

Kansas - This 19,000-pound ball with more than 8 million feet of twine uses only sisal twine, typically used to hold together bales of hay. A local farmer created the ball in 1953 as a way to use his extra twine, and today, visitors can add to the ball with provided pre-weighed twine. You'll find this attraction along Highway 24. Have you ever added twine to this ball?

Kentucky - Big Bone Lick State Historic Park in Union, Kentucky was once covered in swamps, which attracted ancient animals, including bison, giant mammoths, and mastodons. Bones of these animals were well-preserved, and visitors can now see them on the grounds, as well as life-sized replicas of the historic creatures. Have you ever been to this park?

Louisiana - If you visit downtown Lafayette you will see the city has pulverized much of its original downtown -- leaving a lifeless shell of its former self. You will also find an attractive modern courthouse with two large and nicely detailed sculptures on either end of the structure, showing the head of "Blind Justice." I don't know a lot about legal stuff, but I am used to seeing Blind Justice represented as a full figure in a robe holding a scale. Have you ever visited this statue?

Maine - This large boot, which sits outside the L.L. Bean flagship store in Freeport, Maine, is one of the state's most iconic landmarks. At 16 feet tall, it is estimated to fit a size 410 foot (talk about a giant!). Have you ever visited this boot?

Maryland - If you're hiking the Appalachian Trail through Maryland, you can't miss the imposing War Correspondent's Arch, a National Historic Monument built in 1896. The 50-foot tall arch is located in Gathland State Park in Burkittsville, which was the former home of a Civil War journalist, and it serves as the only memorial in the world dedicated to journalists who have died while covering war. Have you ever walked through this arch?
