Part of the Burger Barn’s charm is its appearance. It’s a tiny barn, where you order through the same window where you’ll eventually receive your food. And it’s smack dab in the middle of the Ozark National Forest. There really isn’t any place like it in the Natural State.
Rogues Castle, Eureka Springs, Arkansas. This 15,000 square foot fantasy medieval style castle took 16 years to design and build. It is set on the wooded shores of Table Rock Lake and is open for tours and special event rentals. It's an amazing piece of architecture!

World's Largest Strawberry at Strawberry Point, Iowa. According to some early press, after it's initial installation iat the city offices, the strawberry fell from it's photogenic perch in a high wind. Originally a JayCees project (what exactly are jay-cees, anyway? I know what they do, just not why they're called what they're called... UPDATE - Junior Chamber of Commerce - J.C.- JayCees!), the city spent a pretty penny getting the strawberry back to it's original glory.
