#Wonderfully Weird Road Trip Stops – 7 Of The Oddest Attractions In America

America has a vast amount of amazing natural and man-made attractions that draw millions of visitors every year from all over the globe. Whilst you’ll find many articles written about the best, the most beautiful, the highest-rated etc, etc – let’s take a look at some of oddest attractions in America. They deserve a mention for being weird, wacky and wonderful so if you’re looking for an alternative road trip, you might want to include one of these:

#1 The Oregon Vortex

Ever since the 1930s, the mystery of the Oregon Vortex has encouraged much speculation over why this particular house slants the odd way it does and why items of furniture appear to move on their own. Is it an optical illusion or a strange magnetic occurrence? Could it have more to do with the tilted mine shaft that’s been under the house since 1904? It’s a fascinating visit where nothing is quite as it seems, bottles roll up hill and people appear to have shrunk or been stretched with each step they take!

#2 World’s Largest Twine Ball

Who wouldn’t want to see the biggest twine ball in the world? It can be found in Darwin, Minnesota and was created by just one man, Francis A. Johnson. Why? It’s anyone’s guess but he started winding up the twine in 1950 when he was at it for four hours every day for almost six months! Eventually he needed a crane to lift it but that didn’t deter him from carrying on. He continued adding to it until he died in 1989. It weighs an impressive 17,400 pounds and must be seen to be believed.
