Kitschiest Roadside Attractions in America

Jimmy Carter Peanut, Plains, GA

It’s not uncommon for former presidents to have statues built in their honor. This 13-foot-tall specimen pays a fitting, if unusual, tribute to our 39th president, who was once a peanut farmer. The sculpture was erected in 1976 during Carter’s first presidential campaign. No word on how he felt about its goofy (almost creepy) big-toothed grin. —Jessica Adamiak
