Trivia
I love to drive so naturally I love to take road trips. My Husband & I like to take extended weekend road trips to surrounding states every couple of months. I research ahead of time for places to visit such as landmarks and museums. Here is a list of the oddest landmarks, monuments, headstones, statues, or attractions from Alabama to Wyoming (and including Washington D.C.).

Virginia - England's Stonehenge seems to be the inspiration for many replicas. Foamhenge is a life-size, styrofoam replica built by Mark Cline in 2004 and relocated to Centreville, Virginia, in 2017. Originally built as an April Fools' joke, the attraction was created in just six weeks—a much speedier turnaround time than the real Stonehenge's estimated 1,500 years. Have you visited this Foamhenge?

Washington - If you look under the George Washington Memorial Bridge in Seattle, Washington, you'll find an actual troll. The mixed media sculpture was crafted by four artists in 1990 for an art competition in order to rehabilitate the area under the bridge where illegal activity was common. Now a beloved creature, the city even hosts a birthday party for the Fremont Troll every Halloween called "Trolloween." Have you ever visited this sculpture?

West Virginia - According to West Virginia legend, a "moth-like" man was seen around the state during the late 1960s. The Mothman—as he was known—became such an iconic mythical figure in West Virginia history that the town of Point Pleasant created an annual Mothman Festival, during which they unveiled a statue of the creature in 2003.

Wisconsin - Make a pit stop at the Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame in Hayward, which also happens to be in the shape of a four-stories-tall fiberglass musky that is as long as a Boeing 757. Head into the Hall of Fame in the fish's tail and make your way to its mouth where you can look out on the observation platform, and, of course, have someone down below snap your pic.

Wyoming - If you ever find yourself driving on Highway 89 in Wyoming, take a detour to see the world's largest elkhorn arch in Afton. At 75 feet wide and 18 feet high, this unique arch stretches across a four-lane street and contains more than 3,000 woven antlers. Created in 1958, the arch requires a new coat of plastic finish every year to keep it intact. Have you ever visited this arch?

Washington D.C. - The Big Chair Sculpture in DC was built in 1959 and it was originally designed to be used as an advertisement for Curtis Brothers Furniture company. The chair is 19 1/2 feet high and is a detailed replica of a Duncan Phyfe style chair. It sits on a concrete base and weighs around 4,000 pounds. The Chair has grown from a furniture advertisement into a beloved neighborhood landmark. Because it is so loved, rioters spared the chair during the 1968 riots. It is one of the few landmarks that survived the riots completely unscathed. Have you ever visited this chair?
