Not worth the time. They haven't maintained this attraction. You can hardly tell what it is.
[Miles, 07/21/2023]No real way to get a look at it, but it looks like a big piece of dilapidated barn wall to the right when you're exiting.
[Ami, 07/23/2019]Do not follow the map directions to this site. It will lead you down a private road very clearly marked "keep out." You must be traveling on the northbound access road to see it.

A 20-foot-tall wooden nickel is just off of Interstate 35E at the Carl's Corner exit. You can get pictures from a distance on the side of the highway, but I believe it is on private property and I wouldn't recommend walking up to it. If you wanted to drive up to the back side of the nickel, it is on Rohwer Road
