The Abita Mystery House is going strong. When driving toward it, you'll enter a residential neighborhood. As soon as you think that this can't possibly be the place for a roadside museum, you'll see it on the corner.
It's full of amazing collections too numerous to take in all at once. Dioramas, UFOs, paint-by-numbers, hot sauce collections, pinball. Even a tribute to those "America Online, Get 250 Hours Free" computer discs. It's truly roadside attraction heaven!
We have to make special mention of the gift stop at the entrance/exit. So many fun and oddball things to browse. It was like looking through the crazy souvenirs of a roadside Stuckey's of my youth. I even found a plastic mood-reading fish.
