Everything OddWay knows about. Narrow it down by what you're after, or where you're going.
Giant objects, odd monuments and things built for no clear reason.
Toccoa, GA
A 186-foot waterfall drops almost vertically behind the campus of Toccoa Falls College. Its unusual height and easy approach make it a dramatic roadside-scale natural stop, while local history also remembers the deadly 1977 Kelly Barnes Dam disaster upstream.
Eatonton, GA
A small museum in a former slave cabin interprets Joel Chandler Harris, the Uncle Remus stories and the complicated cultural history surrounding the tales. Modern visitors should approach the material with the museum's historical context in mind rather than treating the fictional tradition as straightforward folklore.
Americus, GA
A massive 1892 Victorian hotel fills an entire city block with towers, balconies and a dramatic interior atrium. The building remains a functioning hotel, allowing travelers to experience the ornate architecture as a living property rather than a sealed historic house.
Blairsville, GA
This oversized Amish-style chair was built in March 2013 outside Owltown Market south of Blairsville. It remains a free roadside photo stop beside the market, although visitors are asked not to climb or sit on the chair.
Ashburn, GA
Ashburn’s giant peanut monument was originally erected in 1975 to celebrate the local peanut-processing industry. Hurricane Michael destroyed the earlier peanut in 2018, and a new steel-supported monument was completed in 2023 after a community fundraising effort; travelers now see the rebuilt peanut as a roadside landmark.
