Graceland Too in Holly Springs, Mississippi (Paul MacLeod)

Graceland Too in Holly Springs, Mississippi (Paul MacLeod)

Elvis died August 16, 1977 (or did he???). I’ve been wanting to write about this place for, I don’t know, a few years but I’ll let American Guide tell you about it because I am a lazy procrastinator who actually hasn’t even been to the original Graceland (one day I’ll...

Bottle Caps House – Siberia, Russia

Bottle Caps House – Siberia, Russia

Siberia is a lonely place. One woman in the far away remote village of Kamarchaga, located in the Siberian Taiga, has found a very entertaining hobby to help pass the time. Russian pensioner Olga Kostina has decorated her wooden home with over 30,000 plastic bottle caps. Over several years she...

Shangri-La Stone Village, Prospect Hill, North Carolina

Shangri-La Stone Village, Prospect Hill, North Carolina. Henry L. Warren was a retired tobacco farmer in 1968 when he began building leprechaun-size buildings in his side yard.

Wistariahurst Museum, Massachusetts

Wistariahurst Museum, Massachusetts

In America, today is the deadline for filing your taxes with the IRS. I don’t know if there is a tax museum, but trust me, even an accountant doesn’t want to go to that shit. So the next best thing is a taxidermy museum. We’ve covered it here before many,...

William C. Rice’s Cross Garden, Alabama

William C. Rice’s Cross Garden, Alabama

No disrespect to anyone out there, but there is nothing I find scarier than organized religion. It’s probably because I went to Catholic School and still have occasional nightmares of endless masses and reenactments of crucifixions and Sister Kay telling my mom I was the devil’s child because I wrote...

Vent Haven Museum in Fort Mitchell, Kentucky

Vent Haven Museum in Fort Mitchell, Kentucky

There’s nothing I find scarier than a room full of ventriloquist dummies. So of course this means I won’t be visiting the Vent Haven Museum in Fort Mitchell, Kentucky (if it is still open…this is subject to debate). It was founded by an amateur ventriloquist named William Shakespeare Berger and...
