Quirky Tourist Attractions in or near Texas

While in Texas, you might enjoy a visit to:

A "Cooking with Dr Pepper" display, and sells cane sugar Dr Pepper in the gift shop.
~47 miles from Killeen.

The 1891 bottling plant that was Dr Pepper's first franchise and is the world's oldest bottler of D.P.
~77 miles from Killeen.

About 100 concrete hippos are scattered throughout this community, including a large one in front of the high school. Apparently an escaped circus hippo in the early 20th century created quite a stir here. My favorite was a pair of hippos, with the girl in a yellow bikini.
~40 miles from Killeen.

Vince Hannemann's backyard folk art environment, built because he thinks it's fun.
~61 miles from Killeen.
