Unusual or little known sights worth seeing

A previous post, "The landmarks game; name a city or place and the landmark", was very interesting. And did vary off course some, and I'm guilty of that as well. Some seemed upset that we diverted from the OP's request, "Name a city, a county or a state and name the most recognizable landmark or feature that makes that place instantly recognizable to everybody." So with this in mind I propose the following, list Unusual or little known sights worth seeing. What's out there folks?
Pics, location and a description would be helpful.

With that I propose:
Providence Canyon State Park
Lumpkin, GA 31815

Providence Canyon State Park is a 1,003 acres state park located in Stewart County in southwest Georgia. The park contains Providence Canyon, which is sometimes called Georgia's "Little Grand Canyon". No camping, day use only. But worth the look see.

Got some great places so far. Here's another we ran across in our travels: Ground Zero Blues Club, Clarksdale, MS. Not much of one for night spots, but this is worth it. We stopped in during the day for lunch and was not disappointed. No music at that time of day, but cold beer and good food. Reportedly owned, or at one time owned, by Morgan Freeman.
This eclectic establishment turned, or helped turn, an improvised community into a thriving mecca for Blues lovers. A very interesting establishment and community.

Administered by the Nebraska National Forest near Crawford...



Photo of the campground at Toadstool Geologic Park. When we were there a couple years ago, not a soul was around. The area is rather unusual and yep... it requires going down a gravel road.

Looks like the Biltmore House near Asheville, NC.


Biltmore it is. Very interesting place but extremely expensive to visit.

Ran across this pic in our archives and thought it deserved mentioning, even though we haven't been there in a couple of years:

Bumping this awesome idea of a thread ๐Ÿ™‚
3/4 timing in a DIY van conversion. Backroads, mountains, boondocking, sometimes big cities for a change of pace.

Ever heard of a pygmy mammoth? Near Mount Rushmore in Hot Springs South Dakota is the The Mammoth Site. This was an unexpected highlight of our trip to Mount Rushmore.

Here's one of my favorites. Best fried peanuts ever. Just outside of Helen, GA.
