Roadside Attractions

What better way to celebrate summer (or anytime of the year) than by taking a road trip? Nestled between Niagara Falls, Mount Rushmore, Alcatraz Island and dozens of other destinations are these nostalgic, gaudy, run-down and kitschy locations. Americans build roads to our greatest attractions such as the Grand Canyon, and we also build attractions for our greatest roads, like a giant palace made of corn.

Have you ever bought your milk while inside a milk bottle? Paid for your gas inside a teapot or a sea shell? Slept in a wigwam? Climbed on a dinosaur? Have you compared your foot size with that of Paul Bunyan? These and many more such activities attracted hometowners and tourists alike as millions of Americans took to the road when the automobile revolutionized American life. Some set off on ambitious cross-country trips; others on jaunts to neighboring states to visit newly opened national parks; and some simply crossed town for Sunday dinner or to pick up milk from the store.

Now you can explore the greatest road side attractions America has to offer, from our current major interstates to our mother roads such as historic Route 66, directly on your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad.
