Places I've been

Places this traveler has marked as been there.

Turtle Playground.

St. Louis, Missouri

Turtle Playground

This is not your typical jungle gym.

Clydesdale horses

St. Louis, Missouri

Grant's Farm

What was once a presidential estate is now an exotic menagerie and home to the Budweiser Clydesdales.

Times Beach, Missouri

Eureka, Missouri

Times Beach, Missouri

This former small town was destroyed not by the motor oil it sprayed the ground with but by the toxic waste that was added.

Strasbourg Astronomical Clock

Strasbourg, France

Strasbourg Astronomical Clock

There has been an astronomical clock on this spot since the 14th century.

The Little Mermaid

Copenhagen, Denmark

The Little Mermaid

The de facto symbol of Copenhagen is this bronze fairytale which cannot seem to keep its head for very long.

World's Largest Cross.

Effingham, Illinois

America's Largest Cross

Known as the "Cross At The Crossroads," this massive metal cross is just short enough to avoid the FAA.

Theodore Roosevelt Birthplace Museum

New York, New York

Theodore Roosevelt Birthplace Museum

The rough and tumble president's childhood home displays the shirt he was once shot in and the speech that saved him.

Snake Alley

Burlington, Iowa

Snake Alley

While there are no actual snakes in the history of this crooked road, there may be a number of dead horses.

It's not a gravesite—it's a future birthplace.

Riverside, Iowa

A place of great reverence for Trekkies everywhere, a hero's future birthplace.

American Gothic House.

Eldon, Iowa

Home with Gothic windows featured in a famous painting.

Mystic Seaport

Stonington, Connecticut

Holding multiple historical boats and an entire 19th century village, this New England attraction is the largest maritime museum in the world.

Freeport, Maine

The Desert of Maine

This tiny patch of arid sand sits in one of the greenest states in the United States.

Johnson's Shut-Ins

Lesterville, Missouri

The Markel Building

Richmond, Virginia

Inspired by a foil-wrapped potato, (seriously) the Markel Building has been deemed one of the 10 ugliest buildings in the world.

Crown Fountain

Chicago, Illinois

Crown Fountain

The twin towers in this Chicago fountain use 50 foot tall video screens to spit on people.

Corning Museum of Glass

Corning, New York

Corning Museum of Glass

Dedicated to the art and science of glass in equal measure, this space is as much laboratory as museum.

The World's Largest Amoco Sign

St. Louis, Missouri

World's Largest Amoco Sign

This titanic oil company sign is a reminder of the Americana boom of the 1970s and also its commoditization.

The true-to-size statue of Robert Wadlow.

Alton, Illinois

World’s Tallest Man Statue

This life-size bronze statue remembers the tallest recorded human in his Illinois hometown.

Three Sisters

Katoomba, Australia
