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.
Atlantic City, NJ
A bronze Bert Parks holds a Miss America crown overhead beside the convention-center complex, inviting visitors to stand beneath it for a mock crowning. The interactive sculpture commemorates the longtime pageant host and Atlantic City's deep Miss America history.
Yellowstone National Park, WY
One of Yellowstone's hottest springs sits almost directly beside the Grand Loop Road, steaming vividly against the forest.
Charleston, SC
A huge fiberglass cow named Bessie has watched over the St. Andrews shopping area for decades. She once rotated atop a dairy store and held a giant milk bottle; current reports say she remains in place even though the rotating mechanism and bottle are gone.
Islamorada, FL
Massive roadside spiny-lobster sculpture, one of the Keys' most recognizable oddities.
Salem, MA
A bronze Elizabeth Montgomery as Samantha Stephens sits astride a crescent moon in downtown Salem. The statue was installed as a promotional tribute to the television series 'Bewitched,' which filmed several episodes in Salem, and its cheerful sitcom witch makes a strange contrast with the city's real 1692 history.
Gardner, MA
Gardner's history as 'Chair City' produced a series of oversized chairs competing for world-record status. The surviving Bicentennial Chair was erected in 1976 and, although no longer the world's largest, remains a giant monument to the city's furniture-making past.
Milford, DE
A roughly 20-foot fiberglass Amish man stands outside Xtreme Graphix after changing homes more than once over the years. The towering bearded figure is a classic Muffler-Man-era roadside sculpture with distinctly Delmarva styling.
Martinsburg, WV
This oversized fiberglass apple was installed in 1990 as a Community Pride Project honoring Berkeley County's apple-growing history. The base contains a time capsule intended to remain sealed until 2040, while the apple itself is a permanent public photo stop.
Ashland, KS
A broad natural sink and a smaller water-filled sinkhole known as St. Jacob's Well interrupt the prairie south of Dodge City. Local folklore and the unusual karst terrain make the preserve more than a normal scenic stop, but road and weather conditions can affect access.
Berea, KY
A large fiberglass black bull has stood outside the used-car property at 200 Richmond Road North for decades. The figure predates the current business and survives as an old-school example of oversized commercial roadside advertising.
Providence, RI
A gigantic blue termite named Nibbles Woodaway has stared down at Interstate 95 traffic since 1980. The roughly 58-foot-long insect became so recognizable that it evolved from a pest-control advertisement into one of Rhode Island's best-known roadside icons.
Elloree, SC
A building shaped like an enormous blue teapot once housed thousands of teapots collected by Julian and Sybil Boland. The museum closed in 2020, but the giant teapot remains; a June 2026 visitor report confirms it is still standing, although visibly deteriorated.
Norwich, CT
A giant cowboy Muffler Man has been part of Norwich since the 1960s and has watched over the West Main Street shopping area for decades. Big Bob wears a cowboy hat and holds an American flag, preserving a classic piece of fiberglass roadside culture.
Waskish, MN
A long boardwalk carries visitors directly into one of the largest peatland systems in the Lower 48 without requiring them to wade through the bog. Carnivorous plants, orchids and floating-looking ground make the environment feel unlike most Minnesota parks.
Amargosa Valley, NV
An oversized cow figure in the Amargosa Valley is the sort of inexplicable desert roadside landmark that fits OddWay almost perfectly.
Fargo, ND
A record-setting wooden baseball bat stands at Newman Outdoor Field in Fargo. The oversized bat turns a conventional ballpark entrance into one of the state's more literal roadside superlatives.
Franklin Township, NJ
A large fiberglass dairy cow stands as a roadside reminder of the farmland that once dominated this part of Somerset County. The oversized bovine has survived development around it and remains a quick public-roadside photo stop.
Delmar, DE
A giant red crab hangs above the ground outside the Old Mill Crab House, claws dangling over the photo spot below. It sits only about a hundred feet north of the Maryland line and has become a long-running Delmar roadside landmark.
Arco, ID
A named crater feature in the North Crater area offering a close look at the monument's cinder-cone terrain. Stay on signed routes; fragile lava surfaces and steep crater slopes should not be shortcut.
Kittery, ME
A roughly 12-foot-tall easy chair with a fiberglass shell sits beside Government Street in Kittery. Vandals destroyed the original oversized chair in 2011, but the community rebuilt it the following year, preserving one of southern Maine’s simplest and most photogenic giant-object stops.
Bena, MN
A massive muskie-shaped building survives beside U.S. Highway 2 in Bena, recalling an era when architecture itself was used to stop motorists. The fish is best appreciated from lawful public or business access rather than treated as an abandoned structure to enter.
Garrison, ND
A roughly 15-foot metal figure known as Big Gene guards the Garrison Golf Course. The oversized, zombie-like golfer is one of the stranger members of North Dakota's roadside-giant collection; respect golf-course access and operations.
Camden, NJ
A huge polished ship propeller forms the centerpiece of Camden's World War II American Merchant Marine Memorial. The unidentified propeller sits on the waterfront within sight of Battleship New Jersey and honors merchant mariners and Navy Armed Guard sailors who died at sea.
Lynchburg, VA
The Craddock Terry complex grew from Lynchburg's shoe-manufacturing industry, which began here in the late nineteenth century and once produced thousands of pairs a day. A giant red high-heel sculpture with a built-in seat now stands outside the converted hotel, turning that industrial history into a deliberately oversized photo stop.
