Quirky Tourist Attractions in or near North Carolina

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

The collection of Mrs. Eva Blount Way, a seriously eccentric woman who simply couldn't throw anything away. Junk, freaks in jars, and fleas in formal dress.
~24 miles from Washington.

Fred pulled the New Bern fire hose wagon until 1925. His head is mounted in a glass case at the Fireman's Museum.
~31 miles from Washington.

A statue of Daniel Boone or an Old West prospector, converted into a Shriner with a makeshift hat made from a handy oil drum.
~67 miles from Washington.

15 feet in diameter, weighs two tons, holds 200 gallons of oil. It can fry 365 chickens at a time. Sheltered inside its own gazebo with a large sign and explanatory plaque, but less visually satisfying than other giant frying pans.
~74 miles from Washington.
