Quirky Tourist Attractions in or near Texas

While in Texas, you might enjoy a visit to:

John Milkovisch drank 39,000 cans of beer, then decorated his house with the flattened empties.

A memorial to the oops-sorry-about-that shooting of a local sacred white buffalo. The newer (2001) downtown statue is in the courthouse square.

Is it possible to cheat death -- at least for a little while? Scientists say "No!" but an embalmed lizard in Texas seems to say "Yes!"

Nutty claim to fame made real by a statue on the courthouse lawn. It once was the world's largest.

A large, dalmatian-spotted fireplug, leftover from a movie promotion, is in front of the Fire Museum of Texas. It's now the world's third largest fire hydrant.

The home of "Old Sparky," the state's retired electric chair, as well as displays of prisoner contraband and famous guns.

The World's Largest Cowboy Boots are ready to kick s**t at the North Star Mall.

A small museum that not only refutes the "theory" of evolution but proves that Man and Dinosaur walked the earth at the same time.
