Quirky Tourist Attractions in or near Texas

While in Texas, you might enjoy a visit to:

Vince Hannemann's backyard folk art environment, built because he thinks it's fun.
~40 miles from Smithville.

About 100 concrete hippos are scattered throughout this community, including a large one in front of the high school. Apparently an escaped circus hippo in the early 20th century created quite a stir here. My favorite was a pair of hippos, with the girl in a yellow bikini.
~44 miles from Smithville.

America's President, 1988-1992, is remembered in this lavish, and sometimes silly, museum.
~63 miles from Smithville.
