"I live in Alabama, and the most famous, non-famous landmark we have is a sign that literally reads 'Go to church or the devil will get you.' It was built along I-65 north of Prattville by William "Bill" Newell, for reasons that are unknown to literally everyone in the state." — AnnaBlackwell

2. Alaska: The Abandoned Igloo Hotel

"In Alaska, there is an abandoned hotel/gas station in the form of a giant igloo on the George Parks highway. While beautiful in its surrounding landscape, it tends to be very creepy when driving alone." — amymatthewsp

"Anyone who lives in Southern California and drives to Las Vegas has to go through the little town of Baker, CA. There’s restaurants, gas stations, and THE ALIEN FRESH JERKY STORE. It used to be a hole-in-the-wall building, but as the jerky and store’s popularity has grown, it’s been remodeled to look like a space ship, with alien street lights and a huge robot sign. Honestly, it’s the best jerky I’ve ever had, too!" — marleep3

6. Colorado: The 419.99 Mile Marker

casbuscus / Via instagram.com

"I live in Colorado, and we USED to have a 420 mile marker on our N/S highway. Long story short, people kept stealing it, so now we have 419.99 instead." — thepyrocat00

7. Connecticut: The Frog Bridge

"The Frog Bridge in Willimantic, Connecticut has four of these guys on a bridge in the middle of town. They sit on enormous thread spools because the town was known for its thread manufacturing back in the day, and frogs because of one summer night in 1754: the whole town was awakened by a dreadful noise. Convinced they were under attack, a group of men took their guns, crept out, and bravely fired into the dark in the general direction of the noise. Daylight revealed their attackers as hundreds of frogs, now mostly dead. And now there's a bridge so we never forget. In the winter, they get scarves!" — miznortonbuswell

8. Delaware: The Giant Medical Bag with Stethoscope

"In Georgia we have the Big Chicken! It’s a KFC that literally has a giant mechanical chicken on it. The eyes spin around and the beak opens and closes. If you’re giving directions for the area then it’s the perfect landmark." — cadianastasiam

11. Hawaii: The World's Largest Plant Maze

Editor's Note: No one submitted anything for Louisiana. So, I picked out the Singing Oak, down the road from the New Orleans Museum of Art. The tree has a bunch of wind chimes hanging from the branches, and are painted black so it blends with the tree. If you sit underneath it, you'll feel relaxed in no time.

21. Massachusetts

susanminlee / Via instagram.com, mrs.pope9212 / Via instagram.com

"The iconic ‘Orange Dinosaur’ has stood for years overlooking Route 1 in Saugus, Massachusetts. The dinosaur was a part of a mini golf complex for decades, until last year when the mini golf closed. A developer bought the land and the plan was to put in a retail/apartment complex. The community rallied together to keep the dinosaur where it belongs. They ended up moving the dinosaur — but only a few feet away on top of a retaining wall so the landmark can be enjoyed for generations to come. Gotta love Massachusetts." — tescherrer

22. Michigan: The M-185 highway

thewguitar / Via instagram.com

"In Michigan’s Mackinac Island, you’ll find the M-185, the only state highway in the US where motor vehicles are banned. That’s because no vehicles are allowed on the island (with the exception of emergency vehicles) so instead the highway is used for walking, cyclling, and horses." — tomkat41

28. Nevada: Area 51 Alien Mailbox

clau.167 / Via instagram.com

Editor's Note: No one submitted for Nevada, so I'm picking this kinda creepy, kinda weird, kinda oddly charming mailbox in the middle of Rachel, Nevada, 12 miles from the famous Area 51. It's the only landmark for 40 miles, and it's a good meeting spot for UFO enthusiasts.

29. New Hampshire: America's Stonehenge

roadtriptammy / Via instagram.com, andrew_quinney / Via instagram.com

"In Salem, New Hampshire, there’s a site called America’s Stonehenge. It looks nothing like the actual Stonehenge but it's a cool little historic site with good hiking and snowshoeing trails." — maggim4a089097e

30. New Jersey: Lucy the Elephant

en.wikipedia.org

"The Big Duck is a duck-shaped building that was built in the 1930s as a place to sell ducks and duck eggs. Before World War II, Long Island was sparsely populated farmland, and duck farms were very common. With the rise of suburbs, the duck farms began vanishing, but the Big Duck still reminds us of our farmland roots. Our local baseball team is even called the Long Island Ducks." — ontario101

"Newark, Ohio is home to the Longaberger Basket Building. It’s a giant, seven-story building that’s modeled to look like one of the woven baskets the company makes. It was built in 1997 for office use but closed in 2014 and has been basically useless, other than being used as a landmark for directions. For example, 'No, the Wendy’s by the basket.'" — kelseyh4e8f329ea

dreamsofjames / Via instagram.com

"Portland has the smallest park in the world. I’m a life long Oregonian and people always ask to go see it when they visit. I guess it’s in the guidebooks or whatever. I don’t think people realize it’s basically just a bush in the middle of a crosswalk. I’m sure people pass it all the time not realizing what it is. The people that ask to go always seem a tad underwhelmed...LOL" — HannaMcG

38. Pennsylvania: The Coffee Pot

delaneybianca / Via instagram.com

"The world's largest coffee pot is in Bedford County, Pennsylvania. Sure, Philly has the Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell and the Rocky steps, and Pittsburgh's got the meeting of Three Rivers, but the coffee pot is *truly* exciting!" — theresathimons

39. Rhode Island: The Big Blue Bug

shoeshoppinggirl / Via instagram.com

"The Big Blue Bug is just outside of Providence and can be seen driving by I-95. During the holidays, the Big Blue Bug gets in the festive mood and sports its own set of antlers and a big red nose. I remember one time someone vandalized the statue and the whole state went insane, but luckily it was cleaned up and back to normal. We Rhode Islanders protect the Big Blue Bug at all costs!" — samuelavila401

genevievekyle / Via instagram.com

One of the buildings was bought by Jimmy John's, and the city wouldn't allow them to take down the ice cream cone because it's historical. So, Jimmy John's painted it black. So we have a Jimmy John's with a black rotating ice cream cone sign." — dramag33k15
