Quirky Tourist Attractions in or near North Carolina

While in North Carolina, you might enjoy a visit to:

A once abandoned Oz mountaintop theme park, refurbished by locals to open to the public only a few weekends a year.
~12 miles from Boone.

The tall, skinny, nearly nude Native stands. Home-built, maybe 25 feet tall, with tense hands and a "Whatever, dude," expression.
~53 miles from Boone.

Some say that Chimney Rock looks like something other than a chimney. Take an elevator to the top! The state park also contains Moonshiner's Cave and the 185 stair-challenge of the "Needle's Eye."
~63 miles from Boone.

The formerly waterlogged Flight 1549 safely ditched into the Hudson River after flying into a flock of geese. Now in a museum.
~80 miles from Boone.
