Quirky Tourist Attractions in or near Minnesota

While in Minnesota, you might enjoy a visit to:

Owatonna, Minnesota: Cabela's: Dead Animals in Big Store

Budget-conscious travelers appreciate that the mail-order outfitter's giant retail store is also a free dead wildlife museum.
~34 miles from Austin.

Rochester, Minnesota: Transparent Man

Life-size health education prop from 1930s Germany. Once a health museum star, later sidelined in a Clinic waiting room. But still instructive. Where's that pesky spleen? Over there? No, over there!
~35 miles from Austin.

Clear Lake, Iowa: Surf Ballroom - Buddy Holly's Last Gig

Venue of the last performance of rockers Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, and the Big Bopper on Feb. 2, 1959, before their plane crashed nearby. The ballroom is preserved as it looked in 1959.
~42 miles from Austin.

Belle Plaine, Minnesota: Two-Story Outhouse

Attached to an old, locally prominent house, so it's also a historic two-story outhouse.
~76 miles from Austin.
