Kitschiest Roadside Attractions in America
Amy Rubey Lencowski
SPAM Museum, Austin, MN
This irreverent museum is all that and a can of SPAM. Look for a wall lined with 3,390 cans, an exhibit on SPAM’s role in feeding the Allied troops, a Monty Python area that shows a menu and clips from the infamous skit, and a mock factory where visitors compete to package SPAM in record time. The gift shop sells 12 SPAM varieties, including bacon flavored and a spreadable version. Help yourself to free samples, or head across the street to Johnny’s diner for a meal from the SPAMarama menu. —Jessica Su
