  1. Roadside America

    A miniature village created by Laurence Gieringer in 1935 in his home. But with growing interest Geringer purchased land in Shartlesville, Pennsylvania where the display opened to the public in 1953.

    In 2020 Roadside America announced that they were closing permanently and auctioning off the display.

    My family visited this wonderful site often in the 60s - a great memory from my childhood

  2. Babe the Blue Ox was the pet and closest companion of Paul Bunyan, the lumberjack giant of American folklore. Giant statues of the legendary duo can be seen across the United States, including this historic roadside attraction in Bemidji, Minnesota. #FolkloreSunday

  3. We travel to interesting places. Last winter, we spent a few weeks camping out at the #ufo watchtower in #hooper #colorado.

    It's an awesome place, with incredible dark skies near the #greatsanddunes national park.

    Many people have noted extraordinary experiences on lookout at the UFO Watchtower. They also have the remains of a potentially abducted horse on site.
