I grew up in Kansas City, KS yet I've never seen most of those things. However I have been to Abilene and seen Eisenhower's home place. And I've been to Goodland, but I didn't see the painting. Must have missed it.
Some of those things sound pretty interesting. Others...not so much. What I really think is interesting is that you've taken time off the beaten path to check them all out.
Fun blog, BTW! And really good T-13!
Great list! :D I'd like to go there someday and have a trip with my hubby. I want to travel as I can. lol. It's been a lifelong dream.
I'll be using this list as a reference of the places to see in America.
Thanks! :D

Great list!
I think every state has these wonderful little opportunities for a rest stop during a driving vacation, but we too often fly over them.
Have a great T13
Mental note: keep this in mind for when we travel west.
Thanks for the list!
Happy TT! Great list here! mine's up too hope you can drop by.
I haven't seen any of these, or even heard of some of them. I love the name of #10 though! :)
Wow! Some of these actually sound interesting. Of course, I'm the kind of person who would stop at every single one to check it out. I'm hopeless when I'm on vacation. I want to see EVERYTHING!!
Happy TT!
Interesting! There's also a steam powered carousel up in Nebraska. That Garden of Eden thing is creepy!
