On this week’s StressLess Camping RV and travel podcast we come to you from the American Giants Museum in Atlanta, Illinois where we meet several of these giants as well as the museum’s curator and learn more about this roadside Americana.

Put a star on my Google Map to stop in next time I'm planning a trip!
Thanks for the tour. I remember seeing all of these when I was a kid.
Cool stop Tony-- and I get just as excited as the curator does whenever I see the weinermobile! One thing I hope the museum can figure out (if they’re watching!!!) is how to offer a second night somewhere in town. Harvest Hosts near several smaller attractions are tough stays for us when we are limited to one nighters. The last thing we want to do is pack up, pull in slides, air up, to move to another spot in the same area. I checked on all 4 currently listed and every one is a single night. 😢
Some Harvest Hosts will allow multi-night stays if you contact them. This town is very tourism-friendly so you might reach out and see. Also the town is very walkable so any of the locations are pretty ideal.
During the museum segment the right audio channel cuts in and out. For a moment I suspected that my new headphones were defective. When we cut back to the porch it was fine again. Good video… I’ve been a fan of the Muffler Men since I discovered Roadside America. Loved the ACME joke too.
Yeah doggone it I put the receiver too far from the mics. My fault - new headphones are likely fine.
Also -gotta make the Acme jokes with so much inspiration around here. Speaking of Acme have you seen the guy here on TH-cam who uses home-made jets to power bikes and carts?
@@StressLessCamping I figured it out when the issue was isolated to one scene. I still enjoyed your video.
