It is not there anymore. Gas station still stands, but everything else is gone. So sad.

Deserted, but mildly interesting! They have cool cars, but the dummies are a bit creepy. The cemetery behind it is worth a walk through.

What a fun stop! It is less than a mile from Route 36. The details were amazing.

Very close to the highway -- and so totally worth a 5 minute stop. We had fun looking at the cars and all the dummies, but my kids were a little freaked out.

Bizarre! Well worth a drive if you are anywhere within an hour of it. You really will spend the whole time there thinking who does this? And why? I bet a night visit would be even freakier.
