The Giant Musky

National Mustard Museum

Dr. Evermor's Forevertron

Sumpter, WI

Built in the 1980s by Tom Every, this is the world's largest scrap metal sculpture, standing 50 feet tall and weighing 320 tons. This retro-futuristic Victorian spaceship was designed to launch its creator into the heavens. Amazingly, the sculpture incorporates actual Apollo-era decompression chambers.

The House on the Rock

Spring Green, Wisconsin

Designed by Alex Jordan Jr. and opened in 1959, this bizarre architectural marvel sits atop a chimney of rock.

FAST Fiberglass Mold Graveyard

Sparta, WI

This unique outdoor yard is filled with giant molds used to cast fiberglass statues for roadside attractions across America. Visitors can wander among oversized fish, retro figures, and monstrous creatures in various states of assembly. It is a surreal, behind-the-scenes look at how the country's iconic giants are born.

Pinkie the Pink Elephant

DeForest, WI

This iconic fiberglass sculpture has been welcoming travelers along Interstate 90/94 since the late 1960s.
