Picayune, Mississippi: 30,000 Teddy Bears
The Teddy Bear House Museum is arranged like a house, with seven rooms including a bear-themed bathroom and a bear man-cave. Its owners felt that the museum belonged in Mississippi because that's where Teddy Roosevelt refused to shoot a bear cub, inspiring the creation of the Teddy Bear.
