#1 Museum Club Located in Flagstaff, the Museum Club was originally owned by Dean Eldredge. Back in 1931, he opened this pine lodge to showcase his collection of oddities.

When people visit North Carolina, a few things occur: the web receives an influx of pictures, future vacation plans are booked, and occasionally, those “tourists” turn into NC locals themselves.

Garfield by Jim Davis
Creator, Jim Davis went to college in Muncie, Indiana and based his famous comic strip and cartoon series, Garfield there. The house of Garfield’s bachelor owner Jon Arbuckle is located in Muncie.

One of the richest sources of limestone on the planet is located in Indiana. Indiana’s limestone has helped build the Pentagon, the Empire State Building, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, the National Cathedral, and more.
The first gasoline pump
The first gasoline pump was created in Fort Wayne, Indiana, on Sept. 5, 1885. This pump was invented and built by a man with an awesome name, Sylvanus Freelove Bowser.
