Quirky Tourist Attractions in or near Arkansas

While in Arkansas, you might enjoy a visit to:

Every wooden thing in this park and around Pugh's Mill -- except for the vegetation -- is actually fake wood made of cement by a secretive Mexican artist. An old post card advises us: "Textured in minutest detail as to deceive the closest observer."
~4 miles from Little Rock.

A tourism mainstay in downtown Hot Springs, the museum is a well-preserved time capsule of great old wax figures you can't see anywhere else.
~46 miles from Little Rock.

It really is the Gangster Museum of Hot Springs, which was Las Vegas before there was a Las Vegas (1920-40). Weapons of killers, slot machines from local casinos, and other local vice memorabilia.
~46 miles from Little Rock.

A two-story outhouse was a popular tourist stop at old tourist magnet Booger Hollow. Both "Maw" and "Paw" stations are on the ground floor. Last we heard, the outhouse continues to amuse travelers.
~74 miles from Little Rock.
