Quirky Tourist Attractions in or near Arkansas

While in Arkansas, you might enjoy a visit to:

Alma, Arkansas: Popeye Statue - 1987 Model

Alma calls itself "Spinach Capital of the World" and holds a spinach festival every April. The more mutant of its two Popeye statues was retired from the town's main street, but can be found inside a gift shop.

North Little Rock, Arkansas: Longest-Serving WWII Submarine

The USS Razorback served longer than any other World War II sub, and was acquired from the Turkish navy (who'd had it since 1970) for one dollar.

Fouke, Arkansas: Boggy Creek Monster

The legend of a Bigfoot-like creature lives on at the local Monster Mart.

North Little Rock, Arkansas: Old Mill Park - Concrete Wood

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."

Texarkana, Arkansas: Half-n-Half Post Office Photo Op

Building straddles the state boundary between Texas and Arkansas, in Texarkana, natch. Tourism appeal for those obsessed with invisible boundaries -- there are "You Are Here" photo ops.

Paris, Arkansas: Arkansas Runestone #1

Cryptic symbols chiseled in stone, left perhaps by Vikings, who must've turned left instead of right at the iceberg.

Little Rock, Arkansas: Billy Bass Adoption Center

Once ubiquitous novelty gift, the motion-activated singing fish trophies have been abandoned by the hundreds to Billy Bass Adoption Centers. This restaurant claims to be the first.

Little Rock, Arkansas: Little Rock's Little Rock

The city's historical namesake has been returned to the spot where it was first seen.
