SPONSORED CONTENT -- (StatePoint) Kentucky’s beautiful scenery, charming culture and fascinating history, attract visitors from far and near. But Kentucky also has some wonderfully quirky attractions to delight vacationers.

Whether you are looking for a roadside attraction, exotic restaurant or a neighborhood brimming with interesting buildings and fascinating people, Kentucky has something fun and unusual to catch your attention and spur the imagination.

For those seeking the weird and wonderful in far western Kentucky, the Apple Valley Hillbilly Garden and Toyland is a great start. This family-owned gas station/diner/general store turned eclectic art and pop culture museum is located just off Interstate 24 in Marshall County. It features an outdoor hillbilly sculpture park and a toy museum with more than 3,000 toys on display.

Near Interstate-65 in Munfordville, is a replica of England’s world-famous Stonehenge. Kentucky Stonehenge was built by Munfordville native, Chester Fryer, using every rock and boulder that he could find in a nearby valley. In addition to the incredible replica, the property also features Fryer’s other rock art installations such as Earth Mysteries, The Garden of Gethsemane, Rock Gardens and Rock Park.

The Red River Gorge Bigfoot Fest is a quirky event drawing enthusiasts from far and wide, and offering a weekend filled with lectures, workshops and exhibits dedicated to the elusive creature. The event, which takes place in late May in Stanton, invites attendees to learn about Bigfoot sightings, folklore and scientific research. The festival also features live music, food vendors and a chance to connect with fellow believers in the legend of the Sasquatch. Need more Big Foot? Check out the annual Big Foot Festival held every October in Park City.

If you love dioramas and history, the Great American Dollhouse Museum in Danville, Kentucky offers a captivating journey through American history, all in miniature. With over 200 dollhouses and room boxes, the museum showcases a range of meticulously detailed scenes from historical Native American life to modern times. And from bustling city streets to tranquil rural landscapes, each miniature world tells a story. For visitors of all ages, whether you're a history buff or simply enjoy intricate details, this museum offers a unique and immersive experience.
