Quirky Tourist Attractions in or near Iowa

While in Iowa, you might enjoy a visit to:

Spillville, Iowa: Bily Clocks Museum

Bachelor farmer brothers Frank and Joseph Bily carved clocks -- most of them huge and animated -- every winter for over 50 years.
~51 miles from Independence.

Traer, Iowa: World's Second Largest Collection of Salt and Pepper Shakers

Ruth Rasmussen began collecting salt and pepper shakers in 1946. Now her collection is displayed in her home town: over 16,000 shakers and still growing.
~34 miles from Independence.

Marquette, Iowa: Pinky the Elephant

A much-loved civic symbol since 1964, when it stood outside the Pink Elephant Supper Club. Pinky wears a top hat.
~55 miles from Independence.

Riverside, Iowa: Future Birthplace of James T. Kirk

A prescient bit of civic speculation for Riverside's future son and Star Trek's original starship captain. Look for the Enterprise replica and other Trek themed fun.
