Quirky Tourist Attractions in or near Illinois

While in Illinois, you might enjoy a visit to:

Frightening haunted house and even more frightening wax dummies of Mark Twain, his family, and his fictional characters. Strangest attraction in Hannibal.
~16 miles from Quincy.

Huck Finn hid here, as does the population of Hannibal if they happen to be nearby when a tornado passes through. President Carter visited, and you can still see where he signed the guest book.
~18 miles from Quincy.

In Griggsville, signs claim that Purple Martins eat 2,000 mosquitoes a day... and they live in luxury bird condo high-rises in town. Coincidence that purple martin houses are manufactured here?
~39 miles from Quincy.
