Quirky Tourist Attractions in or near Kansas

While in Kansas, you might enjoy a visit to:

St. Joseph, Missouri: Glore Psychiatric Museum

A giant "human hamster" treadmill is only one of many intriguing displays in a museum that shows how difficult it is to make people sane.
~23 miles from Atchison.

White Cloud, Kansas: Monument to the Pig that Inspired the Piggy Bank

The monument actually honors the pig's human owner, Wilbur Chapman. Poor Pete the Pig is portrayed on its plaque, but has otherwise been forgotten.
~30 miles from Atchison.

Plattsburg, Missouri: Statue of America's Only One-Day President

Bronze statue honors David Rice Atchison, who had a 24-hour term as Commander-in-Chief in 1849.
~36 miles from Atchison.

Topeka, Kansas: Truckhenge

More than a distorted Stonehenge built with trucks, it's a playful poke at local bureaucrats by visionary farmer/entrepreneur Ron Lessman.
~42 miles from Atchison.
