The Most Unusual Roadside Attraction In Missouri Is Giant & Red

There are many roadside attractions on the famous Route 66, but one stands out above the rest.

Giant Red Rocking Chair

If you're thinking about taking the All-American Road trip then I am sure you're looking into stops along Route 66. The famous Route has several roadside attractions, but one giant red rocking chair seems to be the oldest and the strongest.

Reader's Digest put together a list of the strangest attractions in every state and the red rocking chair was picked for Missouri. The chair stands 42 feet tall, and once held the world record for the largest rocking chair until another one was built in 2015.
