Roadside Attractions in Baltimore

1 place worth pulling over for in Baltimore, Maryland, with what each one actually is, what it costs and how long to give it.

Dr. Samuel D. Harris National Museum of Dentistry

Baltimore, Maryland

Designated by Congress as the official national museum of dentistry, this fascinating museum showcases the evolution of oral hygiene. Visitors can marvel at Queen Victoria's personal ivory-handled dental instruments, George Washington's famous dentures, and vintage dental chairs that look more like medieval torture devices. It is a surprisingly engaging tribute to the profession that keeps us smiling, complete with interactive exhibits and vintage toothpaste commercials.

Noah's Ark of Safety

Frostburg, Maryland

A massive, unfinished steel-frame replica of Noah's Ark looms over Interstate 68 in Frostburg. Begun in 1976 by a local pastor following a divine vision, the structure was designed to biblical proportions but was never fully completed. Today, its skeletal colorful frame serves as a surreal and iconic landmark for passing highway travelers.
