If you really love history, you’ll want to stop by this one-of-a-kind attraction. It was introduced to the Route 66 Hall of Fame in 2012 and is itself a museum of memorabilia that includes old cars, like Volkswagen Rabbits, a classic filling station, antique signs, and much more.

Of course, the most unique and absolutely adorable thing you’ll find here is the bunny farm, better known as a rabbit ranch at this establishment. What began as just a couple of rabbits in an apartment quickly turned into a whole family of bunnies that now live at this wonderful place.

Also on site is a giant jackrabbit for guests to climb on and take pictures. This massive structure alone makes this roadside attraction worth stopping for.
